Question/ Advice/ Opinion...

           My college career advisor sent me an email for a job she wants me to apply for. For some reason she loves to take her leads from Cragslist.com. So I looked at the job and everything seems typical. It was for a naturalpathic office, which is what I'm interested in! But then I looked down at the part that tells me how to apply and I just don't know, something seems wrong. It asked for my resume, a cover letter expalining why I would be best for the job...AND... A recent photograph of me....? I didn't apply to it because that makes me feel really uncomfortable. But at the same time I NEED a job and should apply to everything I can find. Can jobs ask for pictures? Sounds strange. They shouldn't be basing a reason to hire or even interveiw someone off of their looks...
