You really need to sort it out between yourselves, just look up some CV/resume formats on the web and ask him what he does and where he has been working, its not really going to help you looking at someone else's. Pete

After your wonderful help on the other thread, I'd be more than happy to recommend the Search facility on the forum, along with other useful websites like google.

It's as if someone sets up a blind date for you and you ask "what's she look like", to be told "she has a wonderful personality".

Perfect description, she not very pretty, but she can be fun to spend time with.

She's easy on the wallet and kind to the Soul.

She's friendly and willing to please.

Bloody cold in winter. Thousands of mosquitos in summer.

Still, I like it so far.

Well the thing is you copy someone elses CV, the person gets employed and they realise that the CV is total crap and you get asked to leave after a month. I work in a place that gets loads of crap CV's, people saying, Oh yeh, I can do this that and the other and when they start work they dont have a clue what to do, there a waste of space and hard to get rid of. Anyway thats just me and my experience, do what ya want, googles cool !!!!;)Pete

Just picked up our approved passports from our old address. And yes, they have the visas we've been waiting for.

So Stewart, i'll probably see you in a few weeks!

To the OP, everyplace has its pros and cons, you just need to work out what your priorities are.

One chap i met last year when i visited Winnipeg had lived previously for a few years in Toronto. He said Winni gets less snow but is colder. He also said there isn't much difference between dressing for -10C and dressing for -25C.
Personally, i think there is, but it sounds doable, many European countries have similar weather and they manage fine.
