Talking to someone you know at the company is the best way to get a job in a big organization. Getting hired from a university campus visit is the second best way. My suspicion is that showing up at the front desk in person is probably the third best way at this point (after submitting online) because online applications are designed to deal with the problem of too many qualified applicants. Sure online application processes wade through the morasses of 40,000 unqualified applicants a day. But the hard problem is 1000 qualified applicants a week modulo labor law for a position that will probably be filled via hiring someone who already knows someone at the company... ...or an industrial competitor/peer. And if your resume is being word searched it would make sense to search for business names in the work history section of resumes. Because the standard for a factual claims about past employers is clearer than the standard for factual claims regarding experience with a particular technology. So anyway, put on business attire, shine your shoes, put some printed copies in a file folder, walk in, and say "I would like to talk to someone about a job." Then you can meet some people at the company. Good luck.
