That’s because a recruiter or HR person screens resumes at most big companies. I always tell them to send me all the resumes so I can screen them myself. Have to find a way to get past the HR screen until you have experience. Somethings that work: go to meetups. Often times the hiring manager or a tech team member is there and you can meet them directly. Apply at startups that don’t have a recruiting department yet. Email the tech team directly if you can figure out who they are.
