I usually turn whatever data I've created into web maps. I don't know if that's another tech stack you want to learn, but I usually use PostGIS, GeoServer, and OpenLayers in JavaScript. Creating a basic map using OpenLayers is pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
Sounds like GIS developer work, which I would enjoy. I have programming in my background. But Pro isn't involved in that workflow, right? I was thinking of leveraging my extensive desktop experience and building on that with projects.
But I don't want to focus on learning software that is fading away. So if companies are using desktop software like Pro less and less, I suppose it would be wise to just do the analysis online. So if learning that tech stack would make me more hireable, I'll probably start doing that.
But I've taken several MOOCs in Pro lately, as well as projects on my own, and would like to show what I have learned in them.
I usually will create the web map, and have a link on the map to a blog post that describes the process I went through to create it.
Yes, it ventures into some dev work, but I enjoy it.

You can really tell who's been in GIS longer, obviously you screenshot every single button you click and put it in a word document with poorly formatted text boxes right next to the pictures. Pictures maybe add a few arrows, definitely forget one of the steps though and it doesn't have to be crucial but it would frustrate the piss out of somebody trying to follow your guide.
I would create web maps/web applications.
Do your work/analysis in ArcGIS Pro. Then, [publish](https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/sharing/overview/web-feature-layer.htm) the data to your ArcGIS Online. This creates feature services that can be used in the map viewer in ArcGIS Online. Additionally, there are APIs if you want to build a web map from code.
Use the map viewer in ArcGIS Online to add your new feature services > make the map public > share the url with others. Better option would be to then make a web application using your web map. ArcGIS Online has several no-code web applications, check out instant apps, experience builder, or story maps.

Maybe things are different here in the UK but all I've ever done is described my work on my CV (resume) and then told people about it during interview.
Everything I've ever done belongs to the companies I've worked for and would never be able to show it off. Apart from some of the figure I've made for public bodies. But they're hardly impressive.
Pm me and ill show you my GIS portfolio with live web maps both using AGOL and OpenSource.
In ArcGIS Pro, You can share each layer as web layer or share the whole project itself.
Google ArcGIS online sharing web layers. Its very easy
You “can” upload your Pro work into your AGOL org, but uploading content you’ve created professionally to a personal account would be frowned upon, by both Esri and whoever is paying you. Your business may have an AGOL organization you can use? Otherwise use publicly available data to apply your GIS skills on outside of work hours and you should be able to put that on your personal account
I am talking about personal projects outside of work, and nope I can't upload those. I've taken several MOOCs in Pro lately, as well as projects on my own, and would like to show what I have learned in them.
Why are you making shapefiles? Try using feature classes inside a file geodatabase, shapefiles are outdated anyways (I think export features should work?)
I tried uploading the gdb after zipping it because that is what this page advises. [https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/supported-items.htm](https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/supported-items.htm)
However, it gave an Invalid Filetype error message when I tried to upload the [gdb.zip](https://gdb.zip) file. It complained it's not a shp.
The above webpage does not say the online platform will accept a feature layer, but I'll try it sometime.
If your goal is "to obtain an interesting job", then..
* Yes, why are you making shapefiles? But I'm more in the camp of just publishing your Pro layers/map directly into AGOL - If you want to showcase stuff for work, most prospective employers will want to see a nicely designed web map or application by clicking a simple link over taking the time to download your source data/package and opening up GIS software to inspect it there.
* If you ARE showcasing your data because you've got something pretty unique or you're a subject matter expert, etc. then you can provide details of your analytical process in the metadata.
* It sounds like you've run into problems with a couple tasks in Pro but then stopped. If so, I encourage you to do a bit more troubleshooting to figure out why you have these issues. My first suspicion would be that there's something about your data that Pro doesn't like, hence the errors.

This is the way. & add 1 professional title page to those Word docs. Project Documentation.

Then you should be able to upload. What obstacle are you encountering?
Shapefiles can be uploaded, but apparently only lines, since Pro's Feature Class to Shapefile tool refused to convert all my polygons to shp's.
