Relax. The set can be an intense, stressful place, but you must not transmit this tension to the screen. Be prepared on set and focus on the moment. Learn to forget the crew, equipment, and camera and create a bubble of real life in the middle of the on-set hustle and bustle. If necessary, ask for a quiet place to focus on your character while the crew is setting up the next shot.
Network. Meet people. Talk to everyone. The more people you know and the more your name is known, the more likely you will be remembered if a part comes up. Attend parties, plays, industry events, and classes to build a group of people who can support you and help you achieve your acting goals.
