Hey folks,

Moving back to France this fall and looking at the Chambery-Annecy-Geneva area. Just curious to know if anyone has had any experience with language schools or ecoles superieures in the area? Also, has anyone had experience working as an "EU-frontalier" or otherwise in Switzerland? I have a hit list of schools in the area to which I will apply (once on the ground, that is, because I know in France they won't take you seriously until they actually see you, even though in my case I have solid experience in 2 other cities over there). I know I will get work but it would be nice to know if anyone has had any dealings with schools in the area. "Why this area?", you ask?! Well, in a previous life I coached ice hockey not far away, in Morzine. Now I just play for fun and, aside from being a delightful area in which to live, there are a plethora of ice rinks (with oldtimer teams) around these places where old go2guy can get his ice-kicks. Thanks!

Guess not, eh! Too far off the beaten track for most reading these posts??!! For anyone wishing to know, check back with me in a few months & I'll have the lowdown on this area. Wish me luck at least, won't you!!

Thanks Healer. I'm leaving at the end of August. Have sent my CV in advance to several schools in the area, and have generally received what I expected to hear: "CV Looks great, give us a call when you get here, we hire on an as-need basis...". But I have also had two very interesting responses, involving potential full-time situations. In order not to jinx either of them at this point I won't elaborate, but promising stuff nonetheless. Backs up what I've said in other threads in the France forum, that Paris isn't THE be-all-end-all for working in France. Stay tuned!
