When I was 15, a job counselor the teacher introduced as “Herr Krause” came to our classroom.

“If you want to become employable,” Mr Krause told us, “you need good grades, show consistency in your decicions, and have no gaps in your CV.”

The German word he used for employable was “einstellbar”. It means employable, yes.
But literally, it also means adjustable. Like a machine. Like a radio. Like something you can tune until it does what someone else wants.

I was 15, listened to Guns’n’Roses and Metallica and here was a guy who told me I had to become an adjustable person so I will find a job.

30 years later I never had a CV, I wasn’t consistent in my decision making, and if I had a CV it was one big gap.
