Question

in most cases I prefer to add a cover letter to help my resume stand out from other candidates.  

Has anyone else come across jobs that do not want or you didn't feel the need for a cover letter?

Answer 1

It's only normal to ask if you need a cover letter. It can be a time-consuming job to write cover letters after all. It is tempting if there is an opportunity to miss the labor involved in writing one. But a cover letter will support your candidacy in most situations, particularly when the overall job market or your particular industry is competitive. Done right, the most important skills and qualifications for the job will be highlighted.

When you apply for a job online and there's no way to upload or post a cover letter, don't worry. You don't have to have any.

If the employer specifically states what they want in a job application (summary, references, etc.), you do not need to write a cover letter if it is not on the employer's list. But, if there is space to do so, you might want to include an abbreviated email cover letter. Don't miss the chance to pitch and impress the hiring manager.

Nobody likes to hear negative things from a stranger about their company, even if your feedback is worthwhile. Curiosity, modesty, and patience will always triumph over a "know-it - all." Reflect on the company's positive aspects and potential solutions.

Answer 2

Yes, there are some job postings that explicitly state that a cover letter is not necessary, and some companies may not require one even if it is not mentioned. Additionally, for certain positions or industries, such as entry-level or retail positions, a cover letter may not be as important as it would be for more professional or specialized roles. Ultimately, it's important to read the job description carefully and follow the application instructions provided by the employer. If a cover letter is not required or requested, it's best to focus on crafting a strong and targeted resume instead.
