Chair's Corner There's a lot going on. It's almost time for Round-Up, we've had the Second Annual Cutting Horse Event, the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cut- ting for the new Walmart Superstore and Good Morning, Red Bluff at the St. Elizabeth Wound Center was great. There are so many things related to Round-Up, but here are a few in particu- lar I want to highlight: On April 7, Thursday, from 7:45-9 a.m., the Cham- ber is hosting the Cowboy Coffee at the Round-Up Mu- seum. This is the kick-off event for the entire Eleven Days. Don't miss it. Two days later 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 9 is the Annual Chili Cook-Off downtown, another hot event. The Annual Round-Up Parade is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, April 16 and in- cludes horses, bands, kids. What's not to like about a parade? One of the highlights in May will be the first of several Business Seminars offered by the chamber through the Butte College Small Business Develop- ment Center 9 a.m. to noon Thursday, May 19 at the Holiday Inn Express. This first seminar will be free. The seminar will focus on strategies for completing a successful business plan. Seating will be limited, so go on line to our website and register now to be sure of a place. When June rolls around, we'll see the new season of farmers markets in the park, then school's out and things get crazy again. As always, we have lots of opportunities to serve our members and our commu- nity. Remember: "The busi- ness of the chamber is busi- ness." See you at the Round-up. —ScottCamp,chamber chairman REDBLUFFCHAMBER Noshortageofactivities as Round-Up gets closer COURTESYPHOTO A ribbon-cutting was March 31at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital Wound Center.

In today's digital age, it's more important than ever to pay attention to your on- line repu- tation. Just like your home or office, your online presence needs a spring cleaning to get rid of old unwanted items, brush the dust off what's valuable, and make sure there are no surprises lurking in places you don't see every day. What kind of sur- prises? An article in Ad- week explains how your identity can be mistak- enly confused with some- one who has committed a crime, which can make it difficult or even impossi- ble to find a job. Most likely, you'll find outdated descriptions of your skills and work, which can make you sound out of touch and ill-equipped for today's workplace. There also may be some old photos from your younger days that don't support the image you want to proj- ect as a serious job can- didate. A spring cleaning checklist Unlike cleaning your garage or attic, clean- ing your digital presence is simple if you follow these steps: 1. Use Google Incog- nito to see what other people see of your iden- tity online. If you search for your name using a normal Google search, it's more likely to bring back results based on the sites you frequently visit. Incognito shows you a more objective, un- filtered view when you search your name. A helpful tip: Put quo- tation marks around your name to get more targeted results, so "Su- sie Q. Smith" won't pull up every Smith on the Internet. Adding the city you live in (or lived in) can also help refine the search. 2. Be sure to search for your name in con- junction with all com- monly used social media sites like Facebook, Twit- ter, Snapchat, Instagram and especially LinkedIn. If you run a business, in- clude Yelp, YP, and pop- ular review sites for your industry. 3. If you see any nega- tives, the best way to ap- proach them depends on the platform. For exam- ple, you can: Untag your name from unflattering or silly pho- tos or posts on Facebook. Request that a friend remove content from Facebook, Twitter, or In- stagram that was accept- able years ago, but now feels embarrassing. Make sure your job description and level of experience are up to date on LinkedIn. Counter negative in- formation on Google with new, positive infor- mation, such as blogs, with your byline. As a Forbes article on reputation manage- ment made clear, once negative information drops off the first page of search results, it's not likely to be seen by someone searching for you. If you discover some- one (such as a former disgruntled employee or an unethical competi- tor) has maliciously set up fake profiles to de- fame you online, the website Lifehacker has helpful tips for address- ing this. Don't wait for spring to roll around While you don't need to do your spring clean- ing every day, there are certain daily steps you can take to stay on top of your online presence: Set up Google Alerts so you will know if any- thing shows up on the in- ternet with your name on it. Check your Facebook privacy settings so your personal family moments won't be shared publicly unless you choose that option. Set up notifications for Twitter, LinkedIn, Face- book, and Instagram, so you will know if someone comments on your posts, mentions your username, endorses you, or recom- mends you online. Your online footprint and reputation play an increasingly important role in determining your personal and profes- sional success. Don't take them for granted and find out to- day what's being said about you or your busi- ness. Lisa Hansen owns Express Employment Professionals, 243 S. Main St. in Red Bluff.
