You can always count on Yoda for sound advice on technical matters and when it is common sense things well sometimes Yogi comes through but it is always mood lightening when Yogi is quoted.
The comment I deleted wasn't a criticism of you or the cartoon at all. I "got" the humor. While I was writing my comment, I became distracted and didn't have time to correct what I'd posted, so I deleted what I'd written.
When similar happened on other sites, I 'd leave a period so my original post wouldn't reappear. Perrie doesn't run NT that way - she gave me a ticket for doing it, and told me to write "Deleted" in the box. I was just following her instructions.
I'll come back and make a comment about my IKEA experience as soon as I can.
Not everything is about politics, this was more about my experience as a HR Manager/Director and the difficulty in hiring the right person for the specific job requirements
And it does not seem to be chaos you admire 24/7 but rather "hating on Trump" regardless of the topic people are trying to discuss
Perhaps wanting chaos 24/7 is slightly more acceptable than that
Thanks for your "perspective" on the hiring process, though it was not so very enlightening
I have put a number of IKEA items together - which is probably why I liked the cartoon. I wonder if anyone who has never had that experience would understand the joke.
I also have entered into the construction projects defined by the "simple to assemble" instructions and sometimes it is and sometimes it is more challenging than raising the Empire State Building.
Putting interviewees into similar (sometimes less concrete) situations gives a hiring manager insight into how individuals approach problem solving - it is not just about putting the chair together

Reminds me of an experience I had years ago. A friend was remodeling his bathroom, and was throwing away a set of sliding glass shower doors. I asked if I could have them, he agreed but didn't have the original instructions, just the parts. I spent an entire day installing this hodge podge of parts the most logical way I could imagine. Never having sliding glass shower doors, I had nothing to draw from. Turns out that they hang on the rollers, not sit on them. I installed the entire thing upside down, and the doors wouldn't roll worth a shit. Tore it all out and reinstalled it right side up. Ugh.
Trial and error is a tried and true method of learning, frustrating as hell and time consuming but once a skill is learned in this manner it is seldom forgotten.
There was never a "questionnaire" - interviews were free flow and molded to the candidate being interviewed. The same subjects and tasks were explored but not in a verbatim manner - each candidate presents differently and in order to understand if the candidate is a fit for the company - you must determine and examine their skills and temperament versus job requirements

Gotta love the great philosopher Yoda, right up there with Yogi.

Deleted.
"Deleted"
Why I got thick skin and can take constructive criticism or even non-constructive criticism.
Go for it

Thanks for the feedback and the info
I was unaware of that guidance and look forward to your perspective
Great cartoon - definitely worth a smile.
Thanks Buzz - I thought a little humor was needed after all the dark and dreary and contentious railing on many articles.
I guess I was wrong
No you were correct some people just want chaos 24/7.
Not all of us though:

That was the intent
Thanks for stopping by
HAHA...as long as I am not timed...I would do well.
Sunshine
I too would rather do something right than ickly
I think most people could put a chair together. Something a little more complicated might be a problem. Even with instructions.
Even with instructions... What's that ?
Instructions... Hell I dont need no silly unstructions I got me my duck tape.
Let me at it !!

An approach not that uncommon, but one that as an interviewer might dissuade me from hiring a candidate
Well too bad I was Just showing my experience, my initiative and my ability to think outside the box !!
But it's your choice.
LOL

No shit ?

Always appreciate your intuitive and insightful nuggets of knowledge.

What part does TRUTH Play in that?

What the hell does this have to do with an interview or an IKEA chair?

Choices Choices Choises…...
And YOUR Answer is?

No worries
Everyone is welcome here - making sense is not a requirement for entry
Enjoy yourself and I will remember not to ask too many questions
The answer is violin and saxophone music do not mix no matter how comfortable the chair is.
