Nail Biting

Hi all

Just wandering whether or not you get asked at a medical if you bite your nails or if they look at them in any way.

Thanks

Sounds like something to worry about.

It's not a medical issue, but if you go into an interview with very badly chewed or dirty nails, it won't set a good impression to the interviewer. It shows that you are nervous and apparently that you have no manners. Apparently. Try and cut your nails the night before and clean them, I'm told that interviewers actually do look at your nails!

Thorough clinical examination does involve scrutiny of the nails, some important signs can sometimes be revealled.

They won't be looking for nail biting though.
