self-promote
Advertise your talents
Self-promote means to publicize oneself or one's work, typically to advance career interests or gain recognition.
The term often carries a slightly negative connotation, suggesting excessive or shameless advertising of one's accomplishments: She's always self-promoting on social media.
In professional contexts, some self-promotion is expected—You have to self-promote if you want to get noticed—but too much feels distasteful.
