Curious what your job is. CFPB?

Anyways I've gotten a bunch of interviews and two offers without any cover letters. Hate writing them. But I have some in demand experience that I don't really need to spin.

It won't have much impact, if any, unless you have typos or grammatical errors and it somehow gets to a selecting official or panel, in which case it might hurt.
