ore than 30 years ago, someone told me when first starting a job, get the lay of the land before becoming a superstar.
The best approach is to first do a lot of observing; be as helpful as you can without being obnoxious, overly ambitious, or assertive. Try to become a team player as soon as possible. People will recognize your strengths without your broadcasting them all over the organization. If you have strong self-esteem, people will find that out without your telling them.
After you have been accepted in the organization, GO FOR IT. And, by the way, the way to receive a lot of recognition and credit is to give away as much of it as you can. George Green, President and General Manager KABC Los Angeles

Making the Most of Your Co-Op Work Semester
Every night ask yourself this question: “Have I made a profit for my employer today?”. If the answer is “yes,” you’ll still have a job tomorrow. If it’s “no,” get your résumé together.
An employee can’t merely be an expense to his/her company, but an investment that pays dividends. The bigger the dividend, the brighter your future.
Don’t expect a raise because you’ve been at your job a given amount of time. Raises are given because you are worth more then you are currently being paid. Be worth more than you’re making, and you’ll soon be making what you’re worth. So do more than you are asked; get to the office a little early; stay a little late; and if you run out of assignments, make up your own. You might come up with the big idea even your boss failed to think of.
