Anyone who's done strength training/weight lifting for any length of time knows your mood can have a small but significant effect on your performance, probably anything up to 5% difference between a really go for it mood and being depressed. And then of course there are the apochryphal stories of people lifting cars etc.

"There is still value to cover letters."

No there isn't, this is 2025 not 1985. The vast majority of job applications now come from agencies who field candidates to the companies, and personal experience has shown me that applying direct through a company portal is a waste of time. You either hear nothing or it goes via an agency favoured by HR anyway.
