Coming To America - Gaurav 'Gary' Choukse
Not a lot of people are willing or able to talk about the subject of what it's like coming to America. The visa process, the corrupt 3rd party recruitment agencies, the 90 day window you have to secure employment, the blatant racism. It's the wild west out here. \n\nThe only way to tackle ignorance is with facts. \n\nThat's why I wanted to get Gaurav (AKA Gary) on the show to shed some light on the visa process as well as what he's been able to accomplish through good ole fashion networking (which was a foreign concept to him).\n\nGary came to the US to get his Master's in Management of Information Systems and has since started a #LinkedInLocal in Huntsville, Alabama. \n\nI want to challenge you to take some time to listen to just a few brief pieces from his story so that you can increase your level of empathy towards people that come to America to try to make a life for themselves. \n\nYou can connect with Gary on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gaurav-choukse/
