Evaluating a career opportunity with The Empire

I've written, nay griped, about Monster spam on several occasions, most notably here and here.

But this one? This one seems like a legitimate opportunity for someone with my skill set.

Director of Recruiting


Sitting down and considering a job with the Empire? You're damn tootin' I'm thinking about it! The mind swims with reckless anticipation.

I mean, I'm sure there are a number of openings, among them:
  • Stormtrooper, first class
  • Tie-fighter pilot
  • Star Destroyer staring-at-blinking-lights warm-prop guy
  • Choking victim cleaner upper
  • Death Star clean up crew
  • Light-saber severed hand picker upper
But I wonder about dressing appropriately? Do I wear a cape? Should I cackle a lot? Do I say things like:
  • I find your lack of faith in my abilities disturbing.
  • I was going to buy some power converters at Toschi station, but I came here instead.
  • Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
  • No disintegrations! Well, without sufficient reimbursement, at least.
  • The Emperor does not share your optimism... but I do!
For so long, I've worked for the dark side. Now, my true calling has finally come! Thank you, Monster, and all of your spammy goodness! I won't forget this.
