Meet Benjamin, a 33-year-old individual from France and our student of the month, who got accepted to HEC Paris for an MBA program. He's an engineer by profession and a French citizen and proficient in languages, French, Spanish, and English. His skills lie in civil engineering, construction management, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office, strategy, finance reporting, stocks, etc. He did his bachelor’s in civil engineering from IUT DE TOULOUSE from 2005 to 2007 and then did his master's in civil engineering from Ecole des Mines d'Alès (2007-2010). He has also been involved in sports like football and chess. After completing his engineering, he started his career working as a project manager and then as a senior director of projects. At a certain point in his career, he decided to do an MBA so that he could run his own company one day with his skills and expertise. This motivation brought him to meet Dr Hubert for help in his application process. We talked with him recently in a quick session to discuss his journey and the experience.

Can you please tell us about yourself?

 

Hello everybody, my name is Benjamin. I am 33 years old, and I'm French, living in France. I will soon be starting my MBA at HEC Paris. 

 

Any particular reason why you applied for an MBA at this point? 

 

First of all, I have a goal in my life to run a company. I have studied engineering previously, and now I want to start my career in the business and administration field. I wanted to be an entrepreneur and be a CEO, so this is the reason I applied for an MBA at this stage. 

 

Why HEC Paris?

 

I have applied to other schools, too, but I chose HEC Paris for several reasons. Firstly, the program's duration is 16 months, divided into two eight-month parts. Second is the program's quality, as HEC is the best business school in Europe. It will provide me with the vast network I need, so these were my reasons for going to HEC Paris. It is also one of the oldest business schools in the world.




What was the most difficult part of the application process?

 

I think the duration of the process, you have to be ready if you want to apply. You'll have to work extra on weekends and manage everything simultaneously.

 

How was your association with Dr Hubert Silly?

 

Initially, I contacted Dr Hubert for only the application process and not the GMAT because it was crucial for me to get help in writing essays, letters, and everything. He helped me with good ideas and the strategy to write good essays and letters. I was so glad that I did it with his guidance.
