...it's just good manners to mind your P's and Q's. Especially at work.
It's so basic you'd think you don't have to mention it.
Don't demand, ask and negotiate.
Say thank you when someone helps you.
I can usually tell how successful an intern/freelancer will be by whether or not they say thank you after I write them a recommendation. The little niceties here and there reflect on you and they add up to whether or not people will want to work with you in the future. If people had a choice of two equally capable people to work with, they'd usually go for the one who is nicer to work with.
I'm grateful now for my strict Convent upbringing and I wish I paid more attention to the etiquette lessons.
