Produce a job package for the posting. You may make up minor details (dates, addresses, etc.) as long as they are plausible—otherwise, stick to what you know about Lando (the Star Warswiki is a good source of info: http://starwars.wikia.com). Since you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainythan the Mos Eisley Cantina, feel free to include some of your more shady work experience.
