Being consistent, personable, and kind has helped me advance more in my career than any one specific technical skill. Funny people are generally endearing, and it is usually easier and more productive to work with folks you get along with than ones you don't.

My very first service desk job interview began with:
Interviewer decidedly nervous, shaking even!
Me Pours glass of water for them, and for me, take sip.
Interviewer Takes a sip, notably calms down
Rest of the interview was: Interviewer:"Do you know XYZ software we have to use?"
Me:"No."
Got the job.
