Mistakes that can kill your career：It takes anywhere from three to 15 months to find the right job -- yet just days or weeks to lose it. Here are 10 traits that are career poison:

找到一個合適的工作可能要3到15個月時間——丟掉飯碗只要幾天或幾周。下面是10種職場毒藥的特點：

1. Possessing Poor People Skills
A little likeability can go a long way. Studies by both the Harvard Business Review and Fast Company magazine show that people consistently and overwhelmingly prefer to work with likeable, less-skilled co-workers than with highly competent jerks.

人際溝通技巧差
讓人喜歡才能走長路。《哈佛商業評論》和《Fast Company》雜誌的研究都說，相較能力好、個性討人厭的人，人們寧可選擇個性好、能力差的同事合作。

2. Not Being a Team Player
No one feels comfortable around a prima donna. And organizations have ways of dealing with employees who subvert the team. Just ask Philadelphia Eagles Wide Receiver Terrell Owens, who was suspended for the 2005 season after repeatedly clashing and taking public shots at his teammates and management. Show you're a team player and demonstrate that you've got the greater good of the organization at heart。

缺乏團隊精神
沒有人想和自視甚高的人在一起工作。對付那些破壞團隊的員工，企業總有辦法。想一想費城老鷹隊的外野手特雷爾•歐文的例子。他不斷抨擊並公開對其隊友和管理層發表攻擊性言詞後，他在2005賽季被迫停賽。要表現出你是一個好的團隊成員，永遠站在團隊的角度想事情。

3. Missing Deadlines
If the deadline is Wednesday, first thing Thursday won't cut it. Organizations need people they can depend on. Missing deadlines is not only unprofessional; it can play havoc with others' schedules and make your boss look bad. When making commitments, it's best to under-promise and over-deliver. Then, pull an all-nighter if you have to. It's that important。
