I HAVE sent a cover letter, and it WAS mentioned in the callback. Mind you, I drop Easter eggs into them for fun. “Look. I’m an 80% for for this job on day 1; 90% if I’m on enough caffeine. Let’s talk” etc. I shouldn’t write them at 1am.
Never once have I sent a cover letter. It doesn’t seem to have had much impact on my career.

Yeah, it’s too much effort just for a bot/AI to gloss over it, especially if you’re actively applying for tons of jobs.

And I’ve never read one!
