These are great tips that I wish I had had when I was just starting out. I remember people talking about historical events and responding that I wasn't born yet. It didn't make me any older friends.
One additional tip I would suggest for entry-level people is to act professionally. How you email and interact with you friends in your everyday college life is much different than in a business setting. You may have gotten away with sleeping in class or showing up late (or hungover), but it wont go over in a business meeting.
