You may want to double check the position is still available if this is federal. There is a federal government hiring freeze going on.
Did they ask for a cover letter? Typically the applications are standardized and cover letters, if optional, are totally ignored.
I wouldn't send in a cover letter unless they ask for it. I don't think I ever had to send one in for any role i have applied to honestly. Your resume is generally enough unless they are specifically asking you for a cover letter.
The best advice I received on this was from someone in federal HR. They said your resume is for showing your experience, and your cover letter is for introducing you. So while others mentioned a cover letter is not required, and many don’t submit one… that is a great opportunity to shine through as a real person in a sea of resumes! Certainly keep it professional, but definitely incorporate your personality. Reviewing a pile of resumes can be tedious, I personally always look at cover letters and appreciate when people make it more than a “robotic” professional intro. Hope that helps and good luck!
