I got referrals at meta, paypal, adobe, and tiktok for swe roles like 2 weeks ago and either never heard back or was rejected literally the next day. I get now i shouldve asked to be referred to exclusively front end engineer roles instead so that was mostly on me. But i cant help but think that the other factor besides my stupidity was that my resume is just complete garbage.
I'm 19, don't have much experience (2–3 yoe), and don't have a college degree. So i phrased stuff on my resume just desperate as fuck to stand out and be given a single chance. Sorry in advance for the cringe.
Please be as critical as possible. Genuinely grateful for anything

edit: thanks everyone. i'll do better.

There’s your problem. Go back to school, finish your degree, and get an internship to full time conversion via on campus recruiting.
I would try smaller startups and hope to get recognized there if you really don’t want to do a degree
