Good news, you just received a promotion! Now you need to create a new signature for your email. You’ve also been moved to a new office, so all of the information in your previous email signature needs to be updated. Use your own name and add fictional information for location, phone number, and email address, etc. You can even pick your own job title (if you can’t think of one, how about Unicorn Wrangler?) and a company name.

Wait, there’s more good news! You’re going on vacation before you begin your new job, so after you create your new email signature, you need to set your out-of-office email. To do this, go into your email program’s settings and update your out-of-office email by completing the following steps: Enter a subject line that is appropriate for your outgoing message. Write the email message that people will receive when they send you an email. Use a professional tone and limit your message to the relevant information. Update your email program’s settings so that your out-of-office email will be sent on the days that you’re away. For the sake of this activity, set the first day of your vacation to the date that you’re working on this activity. Don’t forget to save your settings. After you complete these steps, send an email to yourself so that you receive your newly created out-of-office email. Take a screenshot that shows the subject line, the body of the email, and your email signature.
