self promotion
Touting one's achievements
Self promotion is the act of publicizing oneself or one's accomplishments, typically to advance one's career or reputation.
The term often carries a negative connotation, suggesting excessive or shameless boasting: His LinkedIn posts are pure self-promotion.
But some self-promotion is expected in job interviews, dating profiles, and social media.
The challenge is doing it without seeming desperate or obnoxious.
