2. What does Your Email Signature Say About You? Not using an email signature when you apply for a job via email speaks volumes. It says you don’t know how to add an email signature or you are too careless to include one. Make it easy for a hiring manager or recruiter to contact you. Adding an email signature is easy and takes less than a minute to do.
