Biting toenails...frowned upon??

More layoffs over here at Actel Microsemi.
In preparation for the worst, I told my sister I might be looking for employment elsewhere.
She teaches at a high school for special education students and pioneered a program to get students out into the community, get a job, and learn other life skills.



She had some pointers:

I wanted to let you know that I do mock
interviews with my students monthly, as I am the one who hires them
for their outside jobs.
Here are a few tips that we work on:

• Strong hand shake (please make sure your hands are clean)
• DO NOT pick your nose, ears, or any scabs during the interview.
• Please do not wear black slacks with white running shoes and white socks.
• Make sure your clothes are not on inside out and/or backwards.
• Brush your teeth.
• Do not bite your nails, leave your shoes on, and under no circumstance begin biting your toenails.
• Extra activities and or interests should not merely be "eating"
• When the question is asked, "Where do you see yourself in the future?" An appropriate answer is NOT a "Professional Wrestler" (while looking at your bicep and kissing it)

Thankfully I was not laid off, so I have some time to perfect these skills.
