This is the best answer yet. I presume that you didn't lie on your interview or resumé and that the boss had some interest in hiring you in the first place, that (in most cases) shows that you, both as a person and as a resource, are probably already valued as a co-worker.
Some traits I would've put some weight on if I was hiring:
- Showing interest in what you do, outside of wage alone. - Have enough integrity to admit mistakes and improving from it. - Being sociable, able to keep a conversation going. - Knowing oneself in terms of what one can and cannot do. Including what one think one can learn how to do. - Some ambition! Not necessarily work related. - Being able to, if you have time of course, accept dirty jobs and do them without hesitation and do it properly! Show some honor in what you do!
And the most obvious of all: Don't slack of. Do your job and in time!
