Ask HN: Question on applying to Google/Facebook

Hi HN, I am applying to Google and Facebook. I work in the bay area for one the well known tech company.

Problem is that, I have never received interest from google or Facebook in he the past.

I applied to Facebook last weekend and I even didn't receive any confirmation email as well. Is this common ? How do I get my resume in front of hiring manager at least ?

I don't mean to be rude or imply anything , but it seems that unless you went to top Ivy League school there is no way these Google/Facebook is willing to consider you.

I have an engineering degree from India and a few certifications from reputed universities in US, but I don't have masters degree due to cost reason. I code everyday and have taught myself quite a lot as opposed to attending grad school. I am trying for analytics position as opposed to SWE position.

Kindly suggest if there is anything I should put on my resume or change it such a way that at least I get interview opportunity.
