When you email professors, recruiters or alumni, a tidy signature makes you look ready for the job before you have it.
What to include
- Your full name
- Your degree, college and graduation year
- Your LinkedIn or portfolio
- A phone number, if you are job hunting
- One line on what you are looking for

Banner idea
Most students do not need a banner. If you have a portfolio or a project you are proud of, link that instead.
Before you send
Skip quotes, emoji and college slogans. Recruiters want your name, degree, year and a way to see your work.

How should a student write an email signature?
Full name, degree, college, graduation year and a LinkedIn or portfolio link. Add a phone number when job hunting.
Should students add 'Open to internships'?
Yes, when it is true. It tells recruiters and alumni exactly how they can help.
