"Tatiana Sorokina came to the United States in 2005 to start a new life, and a new job and a
new family. By any measure that is serious change. Tatiana has distilled her experiences in
making that transition into this slim volume aimed at professionals pursuing a similar life path.
Tatiana has promised to keep the data in the book up-to-date by devoting a website to updates
for the Guide. Tatiana clearly learned a great deal about Chicago in just two years...we can only
thank her for sharing!"
-Congressman Danny K. Davis, 7th District
Russia native and American immigrant Tatiana Sorokina knows firsthand what it’s like to leave behind friends,
family, and work to start anew in an unfamiliar country and culture. And she knows exactly what it takes to build a
fulfilling career and life in a new land.
Sorokina’s comprehensive guide to making yourself at home in Chicago, Illinois, includes detailed listings of
professional, social, and religious organizations; local clubs and associations; networking opportunities; and
places to meet people and enhance your job search. Each entry comes with a Web site address and contacts, a
brief description, benefits and advantages, and even an event calendar. And whether you need a personal financial
advisor or a real estate agent, a reliable long-distance telecommunication service or an education consultant,
Sorokina has you covered with a handy appendix of trusted providers.
Most important, Sorokina gives you seasoned guidance and proven tips for minimizing stress and maximizing
success when you relocate.
“Tatiana Sorokina's idea is brilliant: whether we're entrepreneurs looking for clients and mentors, or job seekers
looking for that next gig, or women from around town or around the world looking simply to get out and get involved,
her book aims to guide us to the people we want to meet and the places we want to go, so that we can make the
difference we want to make. I wish I'd had a book like this in every new city I've ever moved to, and I'm excited to use
Tatiana's book in my hometown of Chicago”.
--Valerie Beck, President and Founder of Chicago Chocolate Tours, Mary Kay Independent Sales Director, and
NAWBO Chicago Board of Directors and Diversity Committee Chair.
“Tatyana's book helped me tremendously, I moved from the Barrington area to Chicago and all my contacts stayed
in Barrington. This book helped me figured out where to go, who to see and most importantly helped me to create a
new network. It helped me achieve my objective of restarting my business, meet lots of other people and have fun in
a relatively short period of time. Without the book, I would still be searching on my own, it is a real time saver."
--Janny Leung, Ex-Executive Director of Asian American Alliance, SBDC.
