also... this is kind of general and subjective, but my friend gave me some great advice about any bs corporate job you might get that includes whack office politics...
gauge how much effort, energy and focus you put into your job, and scale it back to about 75 or 80%. made that your standard for delivering. that way if you ever get put on the hot seat or some kind of deadline or crunch time, you can kick yourself up to 90% and look like you're shining for your betters.
this is a much better approach than coming in at 100% or trying even harder from the get-go and having no juice to turn on when times get tough, or being forced to go @ 110%, burning your candle at both ends.
my other major golden rule is to just be generally good at talking to people, and avoiding burnt bridges. i'd say networking gets more jobs than any website or resume you might have, and you never know who might hook you up with your next oppurtunity.
