Top 10 Things To Get Fired

LYING, gossiping and looking for a new job while you're at work are among the things most likely to get you fired.
 

Jobs website Monster.com partnered with a New York-based recruiter to release a list of the top 10 things that will cause you to lose your job, WTOP reports.

Top of the list is lying on your CV. False qualifications and made up experience may get you in the door, but there will be a major backlash when your lie is discovered.

Other things on the list seem like harmless mistakes, but can be just as damaging to your career. We all spend time making personal phone calls and surfing the internet at work, but doing either of these things too much can result in your getting fired.

Here is Monster's full list:
1. Lying on your resume or application
2. Job-hunting while at work
3. Gossiping
4. Spending too much time on personal phone calls
5. Boozing on the job
6. Too much web surfing
7. Sleeping with the boss
8. Being careless with numbers
9. Alienating your co-workers
10. Not accepting responsibility, aka pointing the finger at someone else.
