If you're in a job search, you're probably sending lots of emails, to all kinds of people.
You carefully craft your email messages to capture the attention of hiring decision makers and make them want to interview you, but how do you sign the message? With just your name and maybe your phone number?
So many people forget that their email signature is just one more opportunity to inform people, or remind them, of your personal brand and unique promise of value.
Doesn't it make sense to leave a lasting impression at the end of your email message and also lead the reader to additional on-brand information about you?
Setting up an automatic signature for outgoing email messages is easy to do, and you can easily insert the branded signature or not, depending upon who the reader will be.
