Trying to perfect your portfolio is the reason that you are STILL working on it. Perfectionism is also the reason you're not applying for roles and the #1 reason that you don't get past the first or second interview.
If you want to get more interviews faster, you need to get over the idea that your portfolio must be perfect. You need to think of your portfolio like an actual product.
When you are working on a product, the whole goal is to see if people want it. And ideally, see if they will pay for it.
Smart product owners prioritize PROFIT over PERFECTION. And to create a profitable UX portfolio, you cannot keep trying to make it perfect. Start approaching your UX portfolio and frankly your UX career like an actual product.
