Now I'm not applying to this position but I stumbled upon it while looking for system/network admin positions. I found it quite comical what they're asking.

If you want this job it's on the New Hampshire Craigslist. Good luck.

    Typically most postings do not include the type of appearance they're looking for in a person, do not state that you need to spell and speak proper perfect English, they're requiring specific looks (clean cut, polished, professional) from an individual while being in OK shape. Lastly they throw in the criminal record, no smoking, no drugs, and no illegal under the table offers.

    All of this without even really placing a clean format for the job responsibilities, job requirements etc.

    Honestly my first thought was this was an individual posting this to see who actually takes the bait.

    It sounds like the ideal candidate for this position will be spending a good amount of time interacting with customers/clients so I don't think requesting non-smokers is that weird.

    I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with the posting. They just have an image they're trying to maintain/foster and some strict background requirements.
