I have heard two different sides on talking about yourself. One side says dont and the other says go for it to build social value. My problem is my job always has people wanting to talk about it (flight instructor) and what I have been doing I don't think is that great.
I don't ever mention it myself
She says "so what do you do?"
I say "I flight instruct at blah blah"
She says "wow that's awesome, so you teach people how to fly?"
I say "yeah its a good job"
I always just kind of blow it off like its not a big deal and dont go into depth but I'm not sure if this is the way to go. Shortly after I do that she usually doesn't seem as positive. Maybe I am not being positive enough or something but I was just not trying to come off as an arrrogent ass and maybe my efforts made me seem like that..?
So If you guys could just tell me how you would go about it and how you talk about yourself I would appreciate it. Thanks
