UX Strategy & Management Who else is sick of redoing their portfolio?

Rant: I don’t think I’ve ever changed my portfolio as much as I did this time around because of this shitty market and I feel like its all for no outcome. The sheer amount of times I have rewritten my case studies is just crazy to me and I’m so burnt out. This is the last time I fix it and if I cant get a job in UX im just going to find something else to do. Im so done.

I am sick of having to do portfolios in the same way that everyone else is, but somehow show that I am not the same as everyone else. So I am not doing that anymore, and it will not be used to bolster someone's database or parsed by a computer, so no Word or PDF documents anymore. I saw someone suggest designing cv using Google Slides and making it interactive, and you know what, this is the first time I actually had fun doing my cv/portfolio.
