How to best address negative replies and critiques reflective of your personal values and employer social media policy?
I think the best solution to negative responses and criticisms is to correct the criticisms raised by others if there is a problem, and ignore the news if there is no problem. No one will be liked by everyone, and there is no point that everyone agrees with, so as long as you think it is right and meaningful, stick to being yourself. There will always be a keyboard man who likes to hide behind the network to attack others, ignore this negative information and do what he should do.

To build a reliable personal learning network, we should improve digital media literacy (DML), ensure the accuracy of the published content, and refrain from spreading false content. Only in this way can trust be established and everyone will rely on this social media.

This deceives everyone, and should truthfully write about the recruitment front desk.
How do those, who are veteran storytellers, minimize risk in sharing misinformation?
To minimize the risk of sharing information errors, review the content multiple times before sharing it. Compare relevant information repeatedly to see if there are any differences.

Learn from other people’s content and reflect on whether the content you share is wrong.
