How does one get a job as a goon or a thug? (hexbear.net)

I'm a fairly big and strong dude. I hate my current job and want to change careers. I think I would be a good goon, like a character Batman beats up before a boss fight in an Arkham game or that Noir detective outsmarts. How does one acquire such a job? I don't see any posting on Indeed.

You gotta ace the interview, practice those affectations, you really gotta sound like a good goon, it might seem like a minor part of the job, and that upper body strength or shooting tommy guns is more important, but 90% of being a goon is just sounding like one. Call people "Wiseguy" and "Dames" a lot and it should start to fit into place.
