if so do you use them?
if so why do you or do you not use them?
If you where looking to imploy someone would you think "OOh yes" or "Oh god no" if they put them on a CV?

I've not clue what a post nominal letter is.

I've not clue what a post nominal letter is.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-nominal_letters

Post-nominal letters, also called post-nominal initials, post-nominal titles or designatory letters, are letters placed after the name of a person to indicate that the individual holds a position, educational degree, accreditation, office, or honour. An individual may use several different sets of post-nominal letters. The order in which these are listed after a name is based on the order of precedence and category of the order. Post-nominal letters are one of the main types of name suffix.

I don't see why you wouldn't use them.

[LRW]

On a CV, if relevant, definitely use them.

In your email signature at work, no don't use them, you look like a show off.......

it's never showing off if it's a PhD.

I wouldn't feel threatened by it.

On anything work-related: use em.
On personal stuff: don't need em.

When you add them to your work related stuff you are being professional and taking responsibility for what you're writing. Not showing off.

How about on a formula 1 forum? It may help persuade some arguments.

How is adding 3 letters 'taking responsibility' for what you write ......?

I can agree in certain medical fields it can add weight to what you are writing, but apart from that.....

[LewEngBridewell]

I don't bother using any. Depends on the situation though, I assume.

[zurich_allan]

Totally depends on the context. If it's relevant and useful then yes, if it's not relevant and not useful then no...

Sure I'll use them if it's work related (though they're not in my email signature as someone mentioned earlier! ), for things such as submitting papers for peer review, grant applications etc.

Likewise if I'm on one of the two or three forums I post on and people are talking bollox about one of the areas I'm qualified / experienced in then I'll mention that I'm qualified / experienced in that area - because it's relevant. One of those areas I frequently see people posting about is law - many people seem to think they're armchair lawyers, or see fit to completely demean the legal industry, which really annoys me.

Other than things like that, why would you ever really need to mention your qualifications?
