No cover letter.
Thank you note after = yes.

I have never, even if they were required. I usually skip that posting since 99% donโt. Not the best habit though
Never
Mixed. But thatโs because while I am an experienced and papered seller across a lot of verticals it isnโt SaaS so everyone assumes I sell snake oil or whatever. It is a chance to point to my experience. But also Iโm in the same job for the fifth year come Mayโฆ
If you are actively job hunting you ought to do them. If you are passively looking than itโs optional.
Regardless it doesnโt hurt to have a general cover letter ready to go.

To who it may concern, *insert two paragraphs of dated sycophancy* I want an interview.
Very rarely, and only if it asked for. I generally get referred, so it is post the initial call and process.
nooooooooo never. ive never gotten a job where they have asked for a cover letter. that shit is OVER
Correct! I tried to commit several years ago and it's a waste of time.
Only the ones I really want!
I'm not even using CVs, not to mention covet letters. My LinkedIn profile should be enough.
Cover letters are dead
I have been a hiring sales leader for over a decade. I have never read a cover letter.
I never put them up
Nope
I never add them, period
