I think OP could try to join a startup, build some skills and network. He/she will eventually be able to get into a FAANG company.

The past doesn't matter. Building skills could be enough

I'm also unemployed. Why should the past speak for me? Shouldn't my github account be enough?

Edit: reason for my down vote? I think my argument is fair, it is wrong to look into the candidate's past. Just look at their skills and nothing else

Edit 2: down voting without a reason forces me to assume the decision was not rational and thus invalid.
