How would you make your perfect sandwich?

[zombieksa]

So I had an interview today with a large corporation and during the interview process they asked some unorthodox questions. I understand they ask these questions to see how you act under pressure, how well you speak, and other factors like multitasking and organization.

The one question that stood out was "step by step, how would you make your perfect sandwich?"

So my question to you is the exact same. This may give me some ideas for dinner tonight.

[nuckin_futz]

Bread, bacon.

[:D]

I'd make it in the same manner as the most senior executive in this room would!

[Drive-By Body Pierce]

I would delegate the sandwich making so I could focus on more important issues.

[Chalky]

If you put lettuce in a sandwich, SHRED IT!

the noah's ark Sandwich. it consists of:
2 slices each of:
-roast beef
-bacon
-chicken breast
-turkey pastrami
-black forest ham
-Lamb Salami
-cave aged gouda
-extra sharp white cheddar
some brie
some horseradish spread
on rye bread.

Toasted bread, eggs, and bacon. That's about all ya need. Simple and delicious.

[Mr. Ambien]

Roast beef, lots of melted mozza, with garlic butter spread and diced or minced jalapenos. Mozza is melted into the roast beef, garlic spread is only slightly heated so the taste isn't absorbed so much by the bread.

[Monty]

I don't eat sandwichs. Next question.

[Warhippy]

How would I make it?

"Honey that was 3 for you and 1 for me, be a dear and if you can walk go get me a sandwich please"

And that's when the fight started

As far as how i would answer the question in the interview I would say:

"First, I get this job based on my qualifications, personality, and how great I answered this question.

Second, I put in some hard work performing the job to the best of my ability and impressions everyone as I picked it up almost instantly and became proficient in the fastest amount of time you've ever seen.

Third, I get my first paycheck direct deposited into my account and upon receipt of the funds I drive down to the local organic market slash deli slash bakery and pick up the following ingredients:

roast beef
bacon
chicken breast
turkey pastrami
black forest ham
Lamb Salami
cave aged Gouda
extra sharp white cheddar
brie
horseradish spread
rye bread.

Fourth, I drive back home and unpack my groceries.

Fifth, I take the Rye bread, cut two slices of bread from the middle of the loaf (ensuring the loaf does not stale faster than necessary by making the two halves match in size) and toast it until slightly crunchy on the outside, but still chewy on the inside.

Sixth, I fry up 4 pieces of bacon until perfectly crispy

seventh, I spread the creamy interior of the brie on one slice of bread, and a single dollop of horseradish spread on the other slice of bread.

Eighth, I place the bacon and two slices of each of the meats on the brie slathered piece of bread.

ninth, I place two slices of each of the remaining cheese on the horseradish slathered piece of bread, and then inver that slice and place it on top of the stack of meat on top of the slice of bread slathered with brie.

Tenth, I consume with a perfectly chilled porter firmly poured into a beer snifter to activate a foamy head and release the aromas.

Eleventh, I sit and digest my glorious meal while i contemplate how to enhance my work experience and how to make this company even more profitable and where we can cut expenses."

[Mr. Ambien]

I don't eat sandwichs. Next question.

Make one for us then.

[zombieksa]

Funny answers. I feel better about my answer now.

Step 1: I'd wash my hands.

[smithers joe]

with great precision .......oh wash my hands first.....

[Monty]

Make one for us then.

Well interviewer, since you are now telling me to make a sandwich for you and not asking, I'm assuming this job I'm interviewing for is for Subway. Pass.

well well well, aren't we fancy?

[aGENT]

I could care less about your interview. I just want my sandwich.

[zombieksa]

Well interviewer, since you are now telling me to make a sandwich for you and not asking, I'm assuming this job I'm interviewing for is for Subway. Pass.

It is an industrial electrical manufacturer/distributor business and I would be working in corporate marketing actually. But I acknowledge the joke.

well well well, aren't we fancy?

They said maybe 20% of the interviewees to this point said wash their hands. I thought it was clever and maybe a bit fancy, sue me.

Hope you guys like this topic, I think it is fun.

Also, your sandwich sound delicious.
