Apply for jobs and reach out to real people at these companies you're hoping to get hired for rather than just filling out applications online and blindly waiting for a response back.

Do NOT send out your resume unless they explicitly ask for one. Attach a cover letter along with it if they do and explain in a short and brief manner i.e. simple terms, what you said here. Otherwise, allow your portfolio/github profile to do the talking. Work the interview angle as best as you can that way.
