<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I was working as a Graphic Designer at a small local print shop for a few months. I was laid off 2 months ago. I recently graduated College a year ago so my experience is entry level. I was applying for jobs and I rarely got an answer. Also, I live outside of NYC so competition for creative work seems to be fierce. 

Anyway, fast forward to a week ago. I decided after suggestions from many people, to go to a job agency. I went to Robert Half not really expecting much but I thought it was worth a try. I might have had lucky timing because when I spoke to the recruiter she immediately thought of a position for me. The following Wednesday I was hired as a temp to perm at a company only a half hour away in NJ. Perfect commute, great company so far, and I'm doing work that I like for a reasonable starting pay.

Now, I'm posting here just looking for suggestions on how to really display myself as an asset and professional. This is my first "professional" job so I'm trying to figure out etiquette. Are there any things I should be saying, not saying, do's and don'ts, how to explain work, working with superiors and coworkers, etc. I'm a quiet and timid person so I know I need to work on my confidence skills now. I really want to show my job that I deserve to be a permanent addition. I know doing exceptional work is half the battle, but I also know that confident assertive people get far as well.
