Work email signature?

[Tummy]

Because pretty much every man and his dog has some from of higher eduction qualification these days. It's essentially spelling out something that doesn't change anything whatsoever about how you would address or communicate with said person.

You may as well put: [Name] [A-level Grades]

Freefaller's example is a different matter though when you're working within an industry that actually distinguishes people based on their qualifications.

I don't think there is anything wrong with distinguishing yourself through your qualification.

Dr Tummy for example .

 

[Castiel]

Mine is as follows

name-->qualifications-->position-->dept-->contact details

Then all the university/company/gov details.

It's longer than most of the email content I send.

And it's standard I had nothing to do with it, although they asked me which qualification I prefer to use.

 

[ikillbears]

mine is just

name
website
mobie

I'm self employed but that's all that i feel is needed.

I did laugh once when an estate agent sent me an email and obviously decided that the world should know she got a 2:1 from Cardiff reading geography

I don't think there is anything wrong with distinguishing yourself through your qualification.

Dr Tummy for example .

Dr is fair enough, you're likely to be a specialist in your field of work and that will reflect the nature of discussion.

However - Bunka : Level 5 breast stroke, AAA @ A-Level, Bsc David Beckham studies - Is utterly pointless.

My dad has initials after his name on work related correspondence, however those are there to show that he is a recognised specialist in certain fields and not just bog standard qualifications that are almost expected in most office based roles these days.

[TrojanWhore]

mine goes:

company logo
my name
job title
direct dial number

people in customer facing departments have:

logo
name
job title
links to our social media
legal disclaimer

in general I'd say if the higher ups aren't bothered what's in them, no need for you to be!

I don't think there is anything wrong with distinguishing yourself through your qualification.

Dr Tummy for example .

I don't bother with my Dr in my email signature or on my business card. However I'm not in a job where I actually do chemistry so it isn't really relevant.

We have two signatures, internal and external.

Name
Address
Tel
Email
ITIL & Prince2 certified (everyone in IT has had to add this to our signature now as it was a corporate goal to have everyone qualified....)
Website (external only)
Company email signature picture.
The usual disclaimer about confidentiality (external only).

Thankfully they get automatically stripped on replies and forwards.

Ours is automated
I don't understand why you have your email address in a signature - surely they can just click on "reply"?

I'd imagine because when viewing emails on a mobile phone as a lot of (unfortunate!) people do these days, it's easier to click reply on the email you get to at the bottom once finished reading than scroll back to the top.

I've stolen the official TVP Gucci one that's used for corporate communications and amended it to my details, which I only use as a running in joke with my supervisor.

 

[Skeeter]

Just been told to not include job titles in email signatures. My previous company did the same.

 

[fatiain]

We got told not to put our company name in any signatures. We're civilian subcontracted employees to the police.

Just been told to not include job titles in email signatures. My previous company did the same.

And what was the reason?

[Skeeter]

And what was the reason?

I do project work. What my employer considers to be my job title has little in relation to what my role is to any given customer on any given project.

 

[Lopéz]

We have a signature generation tool which means you generally get a uniform signature.

Where I contract I don't use one. Don't want them to contact me more than they do.

 

[CircleFaust]

nothing worse than a sig that takes up pretty much half an A4 page,
I've seen that shizzle

Agreed, annoying and looking unprofessional.
