新概念雙語(yǔ)：應(yīng)不惜代價(jià)避免職場(chǎng)的6個(gè)不良習(xí)慣

Finding a good job that you like — and see yourself staying at for more than a year — is hard to come by. However, once you’ve secured the job, it’s important not to get too comfortable. If you’re not careful, you could sabotage your career with an employer. Here are six blunders that could cause your career to go up in flames.

找一份能夠讓自己至少好好干一年的工作是不容易的。但是，一旦你找到了這樣一份工作，最好不要讓自己太安逸。因?yàn)槿绻蛔⒁?，你可能?huì)葬送自己的前途。這里列舉了可能讓你職業(yè)生涯毀于一旦的六個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。

1. Lying

1.說(shuō)謊

Lying can kill your career at a company before it even starts. Resist the urge to lie on your résumé or during the interview. It may take some time, but eventually you will be caught. So don’t add degrees you didn’t earn or jobs that you never had. Know that your work history is included in your employment credit report, so information about past jobs can be easily researched. And once an employer discovers your dishonesty, you will be seen as someone who can’t be trusted. Just don’t do it.

你進(jìn)入公司之前說(shuō)的謊可能都讓你自毀前程。一定要抑制住你在簡(jiǎn)歷上或者面試中作假的沖動(dòng)。也許你的造假不會(huì)被立馬識(shí)破，但遲早你會(huì)被拆穿。所以不要加入一些你沒有取得的學(xué)位或者你從來(lái)沒有參加過(guò)的工作。記住你的工作經(jīng)歷包含在你的就業(yè)信用報(bào)告中，你之前所參加過(guò)的工作很容易被查到。而如果老板發(fā)現(xiàn)你說(shuō)謊了，你會(huì)被視為一個(gè)不值得信賴的人。所以千萬(wàn)別這么做。

2. Sleep deprivation

2.睡眠不足

Working while chronically sleep deprived can cause you to make significant errors. And the stress of not getting enough sleep can make you irritable and just plain unpleasant to be around. Who wants to work with a cranky person who constantly makes mistakes? Get some sleep and spare your co-workers from having to deal with you and the black cloud that follows you all day.

長(zhǎng)期睡眠不足會(huì)導(dǎo)致你工作中出現(xiàn)重大錯(cuò)誤。長(zhǎng)期得不到充足的睡眠會(huì)使你變得容易煩躁和不愉快。誰(shuí)會(huì)愿意與一個(gè)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)誤還十分暴躁的人一起工作呢?保證充足的睡眠以便你的同事不用整天面對(duì)你和你那愁眉苦臉。

3. Laziness

3.懶惰

If you refuse to do more than what it says in your job description, good luck moving up the ladder. If you don’t pull it together and find some initiative, your rung just might get cut off. You should always be looking for opportunities to go above and beyond your required responsibilities. During the process you may even uncover a talent you didn’t realize you had.

如果你拒絕在你應(yīng)做工作的基礎(chǔ)上多做點(diǎn)事情，好運(yùn)將會(huì)離你越來(lái)越遠(yuǎn)。如果你不能振作起來(lái)，不能積極主動(dòng)，你的好運(yùn)可能會(huì)被切斷。在你應(yīng)承擔(dān)責(zé)任的基礎(chǔ)上，你應(yīng)該不斷的尋求更多的機(jī)遇。在這個(gè)過(guò)程中，你可能會(huì)發(fā)掘出你之前一直都沒意識(shí)到的才華。

4. Being a lone ranger

4.獨(dú)來(lái)獨(dú)往

It’s important to be a team player. Let go of the attitude that this is your world and others are merely living in it. This is not your world, and you have to work with other people in order to get things done. If you don’t feel like being a team player, at least pretend that you actually like working with people.

團(tuán)隊(duì)精神很重要。一定不要有這種心態(tài)：這是我的世界，其他人只是生活在里面。你要明白，這不是你的世界，你必須和其他人一起合作來(lái)完成某項(xiàng)工作。如果你不喜歡成為一個(gè)善于團(tuán)結(jié)合作的人，那么你至少要假裝表現(xiàn)出來(lái)很喜歡和別人一起工作的樣子。

5. Stealing

5.偷竊

This one is pretty obvious, but you’d be surprised at how many employees steal from their employers and even their co-workers. No matter how much you need a few pencils for your child’s homework assignment, or a pack of paper for your printer at home, don’t take it from your office. If you get caught, and you probably will, most employers will show you the door, no questions asked. So spare yourself the embarrassment and just head on over to your nearest office supply store. Furthermore, a recent study has shown that taking small things, such as a pen or a pack of Post-it Notes, could possibly lead to bigger crimes in the future. If you go to jail for a bigger crime it will be really hard to find a job later on, so try to control the urge.

這是顯而易見的，但你如果你知道有多少員工會(huì)從老板和同事那里偷竊東西，你就會(huì)驚訝了。不管你多么想為你的孩子做功課準(zhǔn)備一些鉛筆，或者為你家里的打印機(jī)準(zhǔn)備一包打印紙，請(qǐng)不要從你的辦公室拿東西。如果你被抓住了，大多數(shù)老板會(huì)不問(wèn)緣由直接解雇你。所以避免讓你自己太尷尬，直接去一個(gè)離你們辦公室最近的商店購(gòu)買。此外，最近研究表明，平時(shí)一些喜歡拿筆或者郵票的行為會(huì)導(dǎo)致未來(lái)更大的犯罪。如果你因?yàn)閲?yán)重的犯罪被捕入獄，你以后將會(huì)很難再找到工作，所以，千萬(wàn)要控制住自己的沖動(dòng)。

6. Not keeping your skills current

6.不與時(shí)俱進(jìn)

No matter how good you are at your job, your skills will need a tune-up from time to time. The availability of free and low-cost online courses and certificate programs leaves you with no excuse. You can even find helpful courses at your local library. Take the time to develop yourself.

不管你現(xiàn)在在你的崗位上多么優(yōu)秀，你還是需要一次一次更新自己的技能。網(wǎng)上有很多免費(fèi)的或者說(shuō)費(fèi)用很低的公開課程，你沒有理由不去學(xué)習(xí)。你甚至可以在本地的圖書館找到一些有用的教程。記住，一定要花時(shí)間去提高自己。
