I will meet someone for language exchange. I already know his job and that's related to something I don't like.
If he asks me if I like it, how can I answer, without offending him?

I can think of:
- I'm no big fan of...
- I don't really enjoy ...

Are they good enough?
Please tell me other expressions. Thank you.
 
"I don't like it" is not very nice, is it?
 
I think I'm afraid I'm no big fan of... sounds OK.

It depends on what his job is. If he's a football coach, you could say "I don't really know anything about football. I don't watch it". If he works at a nuclear power station, you could say "Wow. Nuclear power is a really controversial subject, isn't it?" If he kills animals for a living, I suggest you find a new conversation partner!

I suggest that you try to be diplomatic. If it's your first meeting, telling him you don't like or approve of his job isn't a great start.
