<p>If you have an email signature, what does it say?</p>
<p>I’m debating whether I should have my school’s email sig be classy/professional or maybe quirky/unique…</p>
<p>Anyway, what’s in your email signature?</p>
<p>I don’t have a signature because I am using my school e-mail for all e-mail correspondence. My friends don’t need my address attached to every e-mail and my professors and employers don’t need my favorite joke.</p>
<p>I use a very simple signature.</p>
<p>Name
Phone
E-Mail</p>
<p>If I’m shooting something off to a friend, it’s nothing obtrusive, and if I’m sending something to my boss, co-workers, adviser, potential employers, etc., it gives them easy access to my contact info.</p>

<p>Nope. I rarely use my email anyway, so there’s not really a point.</p>
<p>I only have a “Sent from my phone” signature. </p>
<p>I once got an email from a kid who signed his with something along the lines of</p>
<p>Name
B.S. Candidate, Electrical Engineering</p>
<p>Really?? B.S. Candidate? That reeks of pretentiousness… trying to imitate a PhD candidate.</p>
<p>Thank you,
[my name]</p>
<p>My friend mentioned something about the school’s signature is supposed to be used by people looking for internships or something of the sort to look professional or that have leadership positions in organizations. I just keep it simple because when I’m emailing classmates about assignments, I don’t want to stick my phone number on it but when I start doing another lab internship in the fall, I think I’ll start using it.</p>
<p>The tools at my school go all out with there signatures… they’re sometimes longer than the message itself…</p>
<p>*their</p>
<p>so silly of me</p>
<p>I don’t use one. Mostly because I feel that e-mail signatures are highly impersonal… Just off the top of my head I can think of 6 different variants I could use on my name alone depending on the situation.</p>
<p>smorgasbord, you had it right with they’re the first time :P</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thus the “*their”. I’d say good eye, but…</p>

<p>I think your name and your email address underneath is sufficient for any recipient. All they really need is a way to get in touch with you, without being obtrusive(like a phone call may be).
Sometimes you might be emailing someone who might not know who you are based on your email address in the “From” line alone.</p>
