1. Coverletter is not really necessary unless it specifically asked in the job ads. 100% of my interviews are application without cover letter including my job. I asked our HR why they don't ask for it and she said it is just a clutter.
2. Focus on jobs posted by the companies itself. I never got interview from any recruitment agency. Someone told me who works with an agency that they prioritise local and local sounding applicants (read: white). Of course they will not admit it. So focus on directly applying to the companies.
