andwiches are a delicious, easy and affordable way to enjoy a healthy meal any time of day. From satisfying meat-and-cheese combos, to sandwiches piled high with savory vegetables, to the many “PB and” combinations, the possibilities for outstanding sandwich­es are limitless. But all the deliciousness starts with one key, wholesome ingredient — bread. The complex carbohydrates in bread provide lasting Bryan Voltaggio, chef energy that busy adults and youngsters need on a daily basis. A big key to maximizing your energy and health is taking a look at how you fill your plate in a balanced way. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the USDA MyPlate program recommend eating six oneounce servings of grain foods each day, half of which should come from whole grain sources. To help you and your family get your “daily fix of six,” The Grain Foods Foundation has partnered with celebrity chef and sandwich aficionado Bryan Voltaggio to create sensational sandwiches. Recipes listed on page 6. Visit www.gowiththegrain.org for additional sandwich ideas.

The Pastrami Reuben Makes 6 sandwiches 12 slices rye bread 24 ounces sliced beef pastrami 12 slices Muenster cheese, thin 1 1/2 cups sauerkraut, prepared and drained 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing 2 ounces butter, at room temperature Lay out two slices of rye bread on a cutting board. Top first piece of bread with one slice of Muenster cheese, then about 2 ounces of sauerkraut, 4 ounces (or roughly three to four thin slices) of pastrami, and a second slice of Muenster cheese. Set aside.

Spread second piece of bread with Thous­and Island dressing, then place on top of the other half of the sandwich. Brush top and bottom of sandwich with butter. If you own an electric sandwich maker or Panini press, place sandwich inside for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes. If you don’t have a sand­wich press, simply place sandwich in a sauté pan on top of your stove, set at medi­um heat. Cook for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove sandwich and while still hot; cut in half and serve.

3 Important

Interview Skills You Must Learn

By Mike Palumbo

Your experience and track record is very important to companies, but there are three very important interview skills you must master to be successful in any interview. These three skills will bring you more success in your interviews than anything else.

Clean up your computer, too METRO GRAPHICS

P

ersonal computers, smartphones and tablets have become a significant part of many people's lives. As individuals continue to rely more heavily on technology, they must place a greater emphasis on clearing their computers and other devices of clutter. Chances are your computer has accumulated a good deal of "stuff" in its memory. A cluttered computer can make accessing information frustrating. Furthermore, being bogged down with information can cause slower-than-normal

operating speeds. It is a smart idea to periodically go through the files on a computer, sort them accordingly and delete items that are just gathering dust. When establishing a filing system for the computer, you can sort files by date or subject matter. You also can organize it just as you would a regular filing cabinet. Some operating systems come pre-established with their own ways of saving data into respective folders. You may use their organizational system or create your own personalized system.

Showing your knowledge of the company This cannot be stressed enough. Sometimes interviewers will ask, “So, what do you know about us?” When you get this question in an interview you need to be prepared. With all of the technology available today you should be able to learn everything there is to know about the company before your interview. How they do things, where they do things, why they do things, and what they plan on doing in the future. Research everything you can about the company. Your knowledge of their company will set you apart from the other candidates. It shows interest on your part. It shows you’re not just “going through the motions” to show that it’s important to you. This skill alone will put you head and shoulders above the other candidates. Don’t underestimate how the interviewer will perceive your knowledge of their company. It’s very important. Establishing commonality with the interviewer Companies don’t hire, people do — and people hire people they like! Think dating. Interviewing is like dating in a lot of ways. Your knowledge of the company will play a big role in establishing commonality with the interviewer. When researching the company, look for things the company has in common with you. It could be the college you attended, charitable groups you belong to, and even a certain type of sport, music, or art. Some companies have tennis teams, hockey teams, basketball teams, and flag football teams, and some of them sponsor museums, symphonies, and the arts. You’re looking
