    Safety First! The last thing you want to do is expose yourself to potential legal liability, so don't give them any ammunition. Be smart about it and protect yourself. While employer-rating websites go to great lengths to protect your privacy, it is your responsibility to protect your own identity. This means avoiding revealing anything that can be traced back to you or used to identify you or someone else. Here are some suggestions:
    • The date of the review is telling. Be sure to avoid posting negative reviews about your employer anywhere near the time of your incident with them (dismissal, conflict, etc.). Let time elapse and use it to sharpen your review.
    • Be careful not to quote anyone on anything specific. For instance, if you were asked an uncommon question at your interview, avoid discussing it in your review.
    • Make sure your writing is not easily recognizable. If you have favorite words or expressions you use often, then you should avoid using them in your review. Some people also make the same grammatical and spelling errors over and over again without realizing it, so it is highly recommended to run a spell check on your review prior to posting it on the website.
    • Avoid discussing anything unique to your situation.

    Fight back like a pro. The ultimate goal of a negative review is to discourage people from wanting to deal with the bad employer. Employment rating websites' policies prohibit you from denouncing illegal activities, personally attacking anyone, posting illegal, obscene, threatening, racist, objectionable or injurious content, etc (please read individual website policies for more detailed information). And there's no need to resort to any of that anyway. Here are some clever ways to maximize your impact:
    • You want to sound like a highly educated professional. This will give your review tremendous credibility. This means using proper language and spell check, and expressing yourself in a way to convey to the audience that you're the better and more intelligent person.
    • Avoid accusing your employer of things that every other employer is guilty of. Think of what makes your employer particularly unattractive and what most businesses are not. For example, are they untrustworthy, unreliable, etc.?
