Comments here seem to be about the importance of demonstrating competence.

While this is of course important, I feel that it's equally important to make sure you actually want to work in an organization. This means fitting in, tolerating corp BS/insanity well, being expected to tone down the cowboy ethos, and appearing productive at all times. In other words, being the oft-mentioned "team player".

Different sports have different levels of cohesion in their teams. Rugby vs. American Football, for instance.
Be a solution, not a problem.
