Looking for feedback

First,

How do I put up a icon on my profile? Dont seem to find it.

Secondly,

My wife who is Swiss and I are considering moving to Switzerland to be closer to her family. I am a Medical/Diagnostic/Capital Equipment Sales Professional with 20 years of success in America. We have a toddler and I am certain her education would be excellent. I have contacts where I will have landscaping work, which I am fine with, while I go to language school. Strong family support is certain and awesome! I have visited many times but any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

First,

How do I put up a icon on my profile? Dont seem to find it.

Thanks.
Click on your User Control Panel ( UserCP ) or here www.englishforum.ch/usercp.php

There are two areas where you can add a small picture ( limits apply ).

One is called the Avatar ( displayed alongside your username in posts or click here www.englishforum.ch/profile.php?do=editavatar ) while the other is called the Profile Picture ( or click here http://www.englishforum.ch/profile.p...editprofilepic )

A screenshot has been attached for your ease of reference as well as 2 files explaining the limitations with respect to the picture size and resolution.

Use an online image resizer if your chosen pictures somehow fail to be accepted, such as:

http://www.picresize.com/

There are plenty of health care companies in Switzerland and the working language is English. No need for you to start looking for landscaping jobs just yet.

Good luck with your search & you move!

I checked a couple years ago and was told I needed to be fluent in German. I am learning and am serviceable but can't read and write it much. I am Ok doing Swissy bootcamp as I call it until I get acclimated. Kind of look forward to good honest labor again to prove myself.......

Re: Looking for feedback

Welcome to the Forum.

I've moved this to Introductions, as you don't seem to have made one before, and I've put your other Thread, with partly similar content, into Employment.

If you keep your questions into the relevant section, you'll get all the answers in the same place. Not that the replies or helpful tips will agree with each other, they never do on EF, but at least members will be contradicting each other in the same Thread!
