are they actually marked required? I never filled them out when job hunting, they weren't worth the time. I sometimes interview people at work and we don't give a SHIT about cover letters. We don't ask for them and as far as I know nobody's ever sent us one. They add nothing over a resume and interview. All I care about is whether you are technically capable of doing the job (resume and interview) and whether you will do that in exchange for money (signing the offer letter).
The thing is, if you don't send one, everyone will tell you that was the reason you didn't get a job, therefore they continue to get sent
