Hi,
I'm of german origin, lived many years abroad myself (incl. 5 years USA/NJ) and have experience in Relocation Consulting. However, not knowing which part of Switzerland you are willing to relocate to,
I like to inform you that I am versed mostly in the NW Areas of Switzerland,while for other areas I could only provide general advice.

Let me know what you think and how I could assist you.

Cheers,
R

Thank You for ur response.Since I am new at this, I am open to any advice as to the best city in Switzerland for foreigners like me who can easily find a job.
I graduated from College in Virginia with a Bachelors degree in Business Management.I do not know anyone in Switzerland hence am solely relying on the internet.
I am looking to move in some few months and will appreciate any assistance.
Thanks!

Hate to break it to you but unless you have a job offer already, the chances of you, as an American, getting a job here are slim to nonexistent.
I'm sure there are better websites that will help you but this one at least will get you started:
