How do you sign your cover letter if you are emailing it?
Posted Monday, October 11, 2010 by admin
I am submitting my resume together with a cover letter online (not as a hard copy) as requested by the company. I am, however, wondering – do I need to sign the letter in this case and if so, how do I sign it? I scanned my signature and inserted in the letter, but is it appropriate? Should I just type my name and leave it unsigned?
You can type it in a font that looks like a signature.
I can’t get you the answer. If you’re a current job seeker, I suggest using this website. It’s pretty good one.
You don’t need to sign it, but I sign alot of documents electronically with Adobe Acrobat.
Honestly, as someone who sees alot of resumes, I wouldn’t care at all. In fact, I might see the signature as unnecessary and overdoing it, depending on my mood.
Keep your focus on the fundamentals: follow up call to confirm they recieved it and ask for appointment, do research on the company, be prepared for standard interview questions, send thank you emails to everyone you meet with, etc.
Go for it, and Good luck!
