Hi Chris thanks for your message. My professional signature will consist of my initials.

When he needed to electronically sign a document, he signed his name on a blank piece of paper and asked a sighted person to take a picture of the signature. He then saved the JPG file on his computer so he could use it whenever the situation called for it. Now, when he gets a copy of a document which requires his signature, whether in electronic form or in hardcopy, he can simply copy and paste the JPG file into the document. I have also tried this method and have found it to be very easy and useful.

Personally, I have developed overtime a common signature which I can use in any situation. Mine consists of the letters CN (my first and last initials) followed by a "squiggly line" at the end. You will observe that my signature isn't my full written name, and that it probably wouldn't be considered to be neat handwriting. However, it is consistent and legible, so it's accepted in any professional setting. So I would advise you not to stress about writing all the letters of your name perfectly. Remember that many sighted people have very messy handwriting and that sighted people often can't make out each other's writing. As long as you have a signature which is consistent whenever you sign, you will be fine.

One of the things that my parents want me to learn while I am here is how to write my name in a professional manner. My Personal Management instructor and I are working on this on a daily basis. However, she suggested that I get a stamp with my professional signature on it. What are your thoughts on this?
