Controversial question. Knowing there are hundreds of applicants for each design job posting, do we really believe that recruiter will spend half a day reading through lengthy case studies of one designer? Why we cherish walls of text in creative portfolios all out of sudden 😅

I’ve reviewed portfolios before and can say (personally) that interesting projects in a well presented portfolio (good subject and intro/tagline) leads to me wanting to read, leads to me checking for blog/writings that gives me a sense of the person more personally.

There’s also the issue of quantity - with hundreds of applicants, do you still have time to dig so deep, for each promising one, before deciding on moving them to the next step? ;)
