Seriously, the job I have now requried a masters degree. My cover letter and my 10+ years of specfic experience got them to talk to me even though I only have an associates degree.
Now I am the go-to for search commitees in my department, and the only thing worse then no cover letter is when folks use a form one and forget to change ot or fill in the blanks.
I think they're saying a cover letter is good. But some people's "resumes" are more than one page with the first page being a cover letter. Almost all job apps have a separate upload for cover letters. If you're applying in person or over email the rules are completely different.
