For my signature in e-mails should I write Master of ____, an abbreviation, or Master


For my signature in e-mails should I write Master of ____, an abbreviation, or Master-______?
I have my Masters in International Business. For my signature I would like to have it as follows: Name BBA-<undergrad major>, <university> ???(MIB, Master in International Business, or Master - International Business)<university name> My only problem with writing MIB is I feel people don't neccessarily know what the MIB stands for. Considering I'm applying for jobs in investment banking, I'm sure it could be misconstrued as Masters of Investment Banking if I just used the abbreviation. Any input would be appreciated.

Qualifications are like silk underclothes. Nice to have but you can hardly go round telling everyone you have them. Do not use them in your e-mail correspondence it looks rather desperate. The proper place is in the CV where it will be quite clear how clever you are.

You could maybe write Master in International Buisiness.

I agree with Bilbo. It is better not to put this sort of thing into a signature. As you are applying for jobs, they will see the qualifications in the resume, and if you really want to point it out for some reason, you can do so in the text of the cover letter. If you want to put your qualifications in other correspondence, you could put a reference in your signature to your LinkedIn or similar site where both your qualifications and professional experience will be detailed. (Bilbo, what happened to your face???)
