Promotion Advice

A new group of librarians going up for promotion are in the process of identifying references, writing personal statements and compiling their dossiers. What advice do you have for colleagues who are in the midst the promotion process? What about colleagues who may be thinking about promotion in the next year or two? What advice do you have for them about what they should be doing now to be better prepared for promotion in the future?
