Whether or not to include a cover letter if one is not specifically requested can depend on the job and the company.

In general, it's a good idea to include a cover letter if you have one prepared, as it can help you stand out from other applicants and demonstrate your interest in the position.

However, if a company specifically states that they do not want a cover letter, it's best to follow their instructions and not include one.
