In honour of the annual Star Wars posts for May the 5th (Revenge of the 5th) I was curious what a LinkedIn recruitment job listing would look like for the Empire...

Position: Imperial Stormtrooper Trainee-Intake

Trainee Location: Various (across the Galactic Empire)

Type: Full-Time (Duration may vary)

About the Galactic Empire:

As the galaxy's preeminent force of discipline and order, the Galactic Empire is committed to the stability and prosperity of a unified galaxy. Under the wise and vigilant rule of Emperor Palpatine, we offer you a chance to be part of a dynamic team where the high turnover rate is not just a challenge but a stepping stone to myriad opportunities!

Role Overview:

This role suits those who excel in highly structured environments and are comfortable with the inherent risks of close-range blaster combat.
