Learn as much about shortcut keys in Microsoft Office or whatever program you’re using and practice using the shortcuts as often as possible as it will save you time. Also, keep a planner or some sort of calendar to keep track of daily, weekly or monthly tasks.

If you're using Outlook for your email, utilizing the "task" function is very helpful

Yes I believe you have to be a team player, organized, and maybe a self- starter.

Be methodical, disciplined and very organized. If you are working part time, make sure when you are off, any information or data is easy to find in your files, folders online and your emails so that a coworker doesn’t have to keep calling you for as to where to look for information.

With ANY job you have to get along with your supervisors and co-workers. With ANY job come in on time and have good attendance. First check your emails if you have them when you come in. With ANY job try not to talk on your phone. Even on break or before or after work stay in your car and talk so nobody can hear you. Don't go to lunch with the others. Prioritize, do not hurry, always be courteous.
