Ask HN: How can I realize my dream of working for Google with a limited resume?

I'm a talented 20 year old developer from portland with 10 years of programming experience, but only 2 years of realistic things to put on my resume. I've known for a very long time that working for Google was one of my biggest life goals, but feel right now that I'm stuck worrying about ruining my chances by applying with a resume that truly doesn't showcase my full talent or ability.

I'm currently working for a portland startup where I am not undervalued, but I feel somewhat trapped.

I know where I'd like to work for Google, I know what I'd like to work on, but I can't seem to get any google employees to give me any solid direction beyond "submit your resume".

What do you guys suggest?
