Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Signing for the ceo in his absence

My boss travels regularly, and there are times where a letter or document needs to be sent with his signature.

How do I legally sign for him in his absence?

Signing:

Jane Doe for John Doe?

John Doe with my initials?

Thank you for your help with this as this situation comes up often for me.
