Whenever possible, work as a team.
Many shoulders lighten the load and almost always lead to better results.
Master the basic skills of your job as soon as you can. It will make your work easier and pave the way for you to try more challenging and interesting things later on. Remember that there is more to a job than a paycheque. A job is also an opportunity to interact with other people, learn new things, and experience successes and failures. Excel at it, take in all there is to know, and see how you can obtain something more suitable by using what you have learned or accomplished.
