O nce upon a time in a remote part of the world, an owl was born,
but not just any owl. An owl who as a youngling had big dreams and
grandiose plans for himself. This owl wasn’t just anyone, he was and still
is Ow-Li.
When he grew up he quickly realized that he wasn’t quite like all the
other owls, an outcast who could not fly due to his abnormally large
body size, and who also had the ability to speak. During his early years,
he felt that his home was no longer the right place for him. He packed
his bags, waved goodbye to his family, and started his long journey
towards a country he had heard so many fantastic stories about, Sweden.
When he arrived, he ended up in the hands of Nextstep, where he found
his true purpose in life.
A place he could work closely with the team while being able to speak
freely, meet like-minded humans who never say no to a warm hug, take
dance classes and of course, attend the annual career fair.
Believe it or not, but Ow-Li is not as dumb as he may seem. Throughout
the history of mankind, owls have been identified as a symbol of
wisdom and knowledge. He’s constantly seeking new ways of learning
in literature in the hope of trying to catch up all the education he had
missed out back home. Did you know that the bow tie was Ow-Li’s idea?
One of Nextstep’s main characteristics is the red bow tie. He felt that
the team needed an accessory that was elegant, looked professional and
easily recognized by others. It is worn by the entire team of Nextstep
and last but not least by our special member Ow-Li.
Although this year, Nextstep is turning 25 and Ow-Li has decided to
make our bow tie even more fancy. He has chosen a golden bow tie to
celebrate the 25 successful years of arranging the career fair. A golden
color that will represent success, celebration, and commitment. He
wishes to see all of you at the fair in February celebrating Nextsteps’
25th birthday together with us.

with Johan Larsson
W hen Johan started his studies in Jönköping in 1992 the career fair
was called “Kontaktdagarna”. He immediately found the project very
interesting and quickly got involved. During the following year he got to be
the project manager for the event. At this time, the project group consisted
of only four team members with students from JIBS and HLK. The students
from HLK: s programme MKV made a list of companies they were interested
in, and was in charge of making the magazine. The project team received
a lot of help from the board of JUNIKON, known as JSA today. In total, 25
people oversaw the fair, which also included hosting the event. The project
manager in 1992, Kajsa, were a big help for Johan. He turned to her many
times for advice for his upcoming year as project manager in 1994.

Interview with Jonas von Essen,
World Memory Champion
How did you go from having a “normal memory” to where
you are today?
It all started when I read a book about memory techniques. I was amazed by
how easy it was and the gigantic amount of information that suddenly seemed
possible to remember. I soon discovered that there was a “Swedish Memory
Championship” and decided to participate. This motivated me to practise the
techniques very intensely for some months and I went on becoming the
Swedish Champion that year!
What are the most common memory mistakes people make?
Most people don’t use any particular technique, or if they do it’s often quite
random and nothing they have been thinking through a lot. Just trying some
strategies out and thinking about it can bring great improvements. I think
that one of the worst things that people do (and that I myself did before) is to
repeat something loads of times just before a test or an exam. That might help
you pass the exam but most of the knowledge will be soon gone. One of the
simplest principles for getting things into the long-term memory is to spread
out the learning as much as possible. The optimal way of doing this is called
“spaced repetition”. Google it!
What methods/techniques would you recommend to students
who are aiming to improve their memory?
As I mentioned, “spaced repetition” is a cornerstone for improving your
long-term memory. Other than that: visual memory techniques! Learning to
convert knowledge into images and associating these images to each other or
to different places (known as memory palaces) makes learning insanely much
more effective. This of course requires some getting used to and good learning
resources. I have recorded some videos covering the basics freely available on
my webpage (www.jonasvonessen.se) and YouTube. I have also written a book
called “Så får du ett superminne” which can be found in most bigger libraries.
Just try out the techniques, even if it takes some time to learn them you will
get back all that time and plenty more through learning much faster and easier
for the rest of your life.

Business Challenge
18Interview with Camilla Ljunggren,
Entrepreneur and JIBS Alumni
Tell us a little about yourself, what do you do for a living?
My name is Camilla Ljunggren I’m an entrepreneur and a JIBS Alumni. Mostly
known for the brand and hanger Pluring. Today, Pluring is produced in its own
factories, where the company works in collaborates on product development and
prototypes across a variety of fields. Pluring operates as a family company where
I am, above all, involved in strategy, product innovation and design. I have also
worked with business development for small- to medium-sized companies and have
been a board member both in incorporated companies and charitable organizations.
Together with some of the Swedish industry’s senior executives and leading
companies, I took the initiative to found the Business Challenge, today one of
Sweden’s largest startup competitions and business development programs for
startups. Together with my colleague I have also founded Innovagency which
among others owns the brand @astartupstory which is an influencer account that
tells and share our’s and other’s startupstories. We also do collaborations with
larger companies, right now you can see our shop in shop with startup products in
selected Clas Ohlson stores in both Stockholm and Gothenburg.
I’ve also worked at larger listed companies both as a controller an analyst and for
four years I was the Managing Director of SIFE Sweden, a subsidiary of SIFE
International which operates in 40 countries.
During the years I have received a lot awards and nominations for my work. I´ve
been named one of Europe’s best entrepreneurs by “Business Week”, and “Veckans
Affärer” has twice named me a “super talent of the year” and deemed me a future
person in power in Sweden. In 2013 I received Framtidspriset for my work with
Business Challenge. The award is initiated by Swedbank, ABB, Teknikföretagen,
Swedish Energy Board and WWF. In may 2015 Ledarna - Sweden’s organization
for managers listed me as one of 75 future female leaders. In december 2015 I was
honored by H.R.H Prince Daniel and the Minister of Enterprise & Innovation Mikael
Damberg, as one of the top three innovation angels in Sweden. For my work with
creating a better environment for innovation in Sweden. In March 2016 The Swedish
Confederation of Professional Employees (TCO) deemed my a future as one of the
most influential persons within swedish enterprise.
What is your best advice to students who just got their bachelor’s or
master degree and are applying for a new job?
Follow your heart. The most important thing in life (when it comes to work) is to
do something that gives you more than a paycheck.
What do your company do to attract employees?
Culture is everything. Create a culture with nice people with whom you can be
yourself and create a culture which gives each individual to perform its best.
What are you and your company looking for when
employing new people?
When we recruit employees we look at the personality, social competence, good
work ethic and positivity.

THE DEAN
“You come to JIBS to make
an investment that makes
your life better.”
2025 done, 25 to go - at least!
T he Nextstep team sat down with Jerker Moodysson, the CEO of Jönköping
International Business School, JIBS, to hear his thoughts about the Nextstep
fair. Why is it such an important event? How does he feel about the fair
celebrating its 25th anniversary? And what is the CEO: s number one advice for
JIBS students? Below, Mr. Moodysson share with us, his view of the Nextstep fair.
Why is the Nextstep career fair so important to JIBS?
Networking. That is the single most important benefit and effect of the fair. To
JIBS it is important that the students build good connections that can help them
both during and after their education here at the university. Trough Nextstep
the students can directly come in contact with companies, a service that JIBS
itself cannot fully assist with. It is also important to show the companies that
we, JIBS, is relevant to them. That we educate people for the business world and
that we are a reliable resource for them.
The fair has a practical need in that it becomes a way for our students to get
ahead in their careers, but also a symbolic need in that is shows the industry
and commerce that this school is relevant.
Why is Nextstep important for the students?
For, you, the students this is a mayor opportunity that you really should seize,
both in terms of building relations and to gain inspiration. Nextstep gathers all
activities and companies under one roof, that means you can, during just one
day, make connections that otherwise would take years to build.
A big portion of our students have employments that awaits them from the very
day they graduate. I believe a big contributor to that is that the Nextstep team
work so hard to bring students and companies together. To attend the fair is
also a great way to gather information and inspiration about what you might
want to do in the future.
What is your primary advice to current students?
I would say, go to the Nextstep fair with an open mind and be yourself. Try to
absorb as much as you can of the fair. It is important to portrait a true image of
yourself. Do not attempt to “perform”, dress up and be representative, that is not
the purpose of Nextstep; it is rather to be you and see where that will take you.
How do you feel about Nextstep turning 25 years old?
It is amazing. If a project can stay alive for 25 years it means that the project
is needed and that it creates value for those involved. That the fair has been
around for 25 years tells me it will continue to be so for 25 to come, at least. The
students, JIBS and the companies all benefit from it. If no one found the Nextstep
fair beneficial and rewarding, companies and students alike, they would not
return. You cannot keep a project running on pure will, it has to deliver
something. That Nextstep is turning 25 is a prof it has delivered.

Interview with Herman
How would you prepare for a contact call if you were to
attend one today?
First, I would wright a list of question in order to learn more about
the organization or position in question. I would also prepare
responses, a good thing to do is to practice telling your story in the
best possible way. Lastly, I would plan what to wear, regardless if you
want to dress to impress or if you want to go causal is a good thing
to have your outfit planned.
Do you have any tips or tricks for students who are think-
ing about applying for a contact call?
My recommendation to students is first and foremost to actually
apply since It could result in a perfect part-time job alongside your
studies. But even though if it does not result in an employment this
time, it is a great opportunity to practice being interview for a
position at a company. My tips are to really gather information about
the company that you are interested in, to learn about the company
that you are applying for. I also really recommend you to be yourself
and to be in time for the interview.
What opportunities related to your career do you think
your contact call has opened up for you?
Since I’m currently working at Handelsbanken, I believe that that
could lead to an increased employment opportunity for me after my
graduation, at least I hope so.

Interview with Emilia Sundberg from
What does Science Park do?
We coach people who want to do something great with their ideas. You are
welcome to contact us if you need help with how to develop your idea into a real
business idea, how to test it and what steps you need to take in order to make it
come true. We provide you with the tools you’ll need along the way.
Also, we are happy to help you with practical issues such as registering your company,
answer questions about tax, vat, registering your company, as well as financial
solutions. Every year we meet 1000 new ideas and from that, 300 new companies
are being started in the region of Jönköping. Around 30-50 of those are run by
students. Anyone can come to us with their idea. We believe that everything starts
with creativity and an open mindset. Starting up a business should be fun and easy!
Do you have to have a finished concept to come to Science park?
No. If you have an idea or dream and need some input, a creative boost or advice,
you are still very welcome to come to us. We will never judge you! Even if you do
not have an idea at all and just want to network, meet new people of find inspiration
we have several different events you can visit; information evenings, breakfast
gatherings or start-up events to name a few.
What is the easiest way to get your company up and running?
It is easy to get stuck in the idea that everything must be ready and decided all at
once, but that is not realistic. All big things are made from smaller components.
Try not to focus on what you not yet have accomplished, think instead about
what you can do today to reach that accomplishment tomorrow. You have to start
somewhere – action is key.
Do you have any concrete tips about what to do if you have a
company idea in the making?
Yes, I do. My top five tips for everyone with an idea and a dream is:
Ask yourself; what do I offer, what need do I satisfy and what makes me unique?
Don’t limit yourself, be playful and have fun. Ask for help. Who do you have around
you? What competence do they have? Try your idea out, what is the worst thing
that can happen? Come see us at Science Park, our job is to help you succeed.
