When you've worked so hard to get that first job after college, the last thing you want is to screw it up. Sadly, new grads do it all the time.

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.
