What Would You Do -- If You Worked for Mario Batali?


The Monster Blog

5683807493_1a5d61d22f_z Monster.com has teamed up with Mario Batali as he searches for his new media production coordinator. That's right -- Monster and Mario Batali are hiring for the job of a lifetime, so competition is going to be fierce.
Batali is a critically acclaimed chef and restaurateur, an award-winning author, and a well-known television personality -- the person he hires to be his media production coordinator (whose duties include preparing for shoots, assisting with video production, and basically making sure Mario Batali is able to focus on his job as a superstar chef) will have to be able to think on his or her feet. So if you've applied for the job (or are about to), take a moment to tell us:
How would you handle each of these situations?
1. You're on location in front of an urban produce stand to film a two-minute setup with Batali, but a large road-repair crew is making too much noise for you to film. You have only 30 minutes to get the segment. What would you do?
2. While reviewing a recipe segment in post-production, you realize that there are extraneous items on the cooking table that shouldn't be there during taping. It's midnight, the three-minute segment is due by 7:30 a.m., and Batali is on an overnight flight to Rome. What would you do?
3. You've accidentally scheduled Batali to be in two places at once -- tapings for two high-profile TV shows: Rachel Ray's and Martha Stewart's. He's supposed to be at one studio by 9:00 a.m. and the other by 10:00 a.m. It's now 7:30 a.m. How would you handle it?
4. Batali is minutes away from going on "Good Morning America" for a live segment in which he'll prepare his famous pesto. A producer tells you that the llama from a previous segment ate all the basil leaves Mario was going to use. How would you handle it?
