Greetings from Bulgaria
25 May 2009 | Posted By: Maria Markenroth
Hello everybody! My name is Plamen Penchev and I am from Bulgaria. I will join JIBS this fall, Master in Innovation and Business Creation.
I have graduated an English Language High School in my home city Ruse, situated on the Danube river in Northern Bulgaria. Later on I was admitted in the University of Applied Sciences Stralsund, Germany, the degree course Bachelor in Business Administration, conducted in English language. During my studies I also had the chance to spend one academic year in the USA, Michigan, as an exchange student, Ferris State University. This was an excellent possibility for me not only to maximize my English language skills, but also to experience the North American higher education system, culture and lifestyle, to see many things from another perspective.
My practical experience consists mainly of my work as a Hotel Manager of the river-cruising passenger ship “Elegant Ladyâ€, sailing throughout the European waterways – from the Danube Delta on Black Sea to the canals in the Netherlands. In short, I was in charge of the hotel department – making sure that the work was going smoothly and the desired results were achieved – a first-class tourist product.
However, at a certain point of time I reached my career maximum on the ship and realized that in order to enjoy a really challenging and rewarding international career, I must undertake the next academic step. I am determined to pursue further progress and development in my personal and professional life and probably the most important part of this is a world-class Master Degree from a truly reputable institution – that is why I have applied exactly for the Master in Innovation and Business Creation at JIBS.
I am sure that the Master in Innovation and Business Creation at JIBS will not only significantly deepen my knowledge in all the aspects related to innovation management and entrepreneurship, but will also expand my social competences and the ability to see the “big pictureâ€. Moreover, I have no doubt that this premium Master program will serve as a solid base and priceless preparation for the real business world, an experience for life.
Right now, probably as all my future co-students :) , I am in a process of preparation for leaving to JIBS. Trying to find the best answers to questions such as “how actually to travel? , what abbout the luggage? – flying and sending it there, or taking everything with me and catching a bus or train? , health insurance? , banking/financial issues? , accomodation? – even though we know that luckily for us it is guaranteed, I bet everyone is curious what exactly will it be :)
At the end my friends I would like to say that I am really looking forward to comming to JIBS and having a wonderful and unforgettable experience. And of course, meeting with many other incredible people there, from all over the world. I have no doubt that it will be extremely beneficial for us in any aspect. And you, prospective students as me, don’t hesitate to make the right choice ;) And also, join the blog at JIBS and tell us more about you.
