The first tip is to always strive to show up early, and stay late. You don't have to show up at 5am and work until midnight, but showing up at 8:50 in the morning and working until 5:05 at night will show that you aren't just looking to leave as soon as the clock says so. It means that you are willing to get a good jump, and not leave until the work is finished and everyone is set for your to leave.
Be nice to people. It will allow you to cultivate good relationships. If people like you it will make it easier for you to do your job, and it will make you look like a real professional. This will help your career out immensely because these contacts are going to make it easier to do your job, and easier to stay calm and professional when things go wrong because you will have help.
Stay calm under pressure, and don't panic. A true professional will make sure that they are leading by example. Make sure you are able to be calm under pressure because business often is about pressure. Make sure that you are able to show those around you that your head is in the game no matter what happens. This goes a long way toward proving you are a responsible professional.
Don't fret when things go wrong. If you get demoted, take it in stride. If you are fired, you should make sure that you are taking it as well as possible. Don't bad mouth or take out your frustration on others. Simply look for the next opportunity out there and make sure that you learn from your mistakes in the process.
