The problem rarely stems from lack of knowledge or poor technical skills. It often goes back to something simpler: Your persona in the workplace, particularly during your first few weeks on the job.

Remember the spot on your second-grade report card that said "works and plays well with others"? This skill is still important, because it's shockingly easy to make an awful first impression on your new colleagues -- the kind that will taint your reputation the entire time you're with the organization.
