I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Keep the work in, focus on process. Even if it’s an entirely different space, people will want to see what you do with a prompt and how you’ll be fitting in to their team.
I like to showcase by style or industry. You can keep some statement pieces from across the spectrum on your site's home page, then delve into the specific industries and showcase more varied work by category or niche. If you don't have a lot or any experience in the industry (/industries) you want to pivot to, mock up some sample campaigns. I do this all the time, both for my portfolio and for fun.
I would include the work you are sick of, but put it behind the work that you really want to highlight. That way, people looking at your portfolio will see your expereince but the more excitiing work will catch their eye first and make the first impression.
You balance a boring project with a passion project. Make up a brief thats culturally relevant. Execute well. At the end of the day what separates you is your taste. Signal that you get what good design look and feels in todays world.
