Why did you apply to LG ARKAD?
I wanted to challenge myself by leading a large-scale effort within a close-knit team over an extended period. Partly to experience the camaraderie and have fun, but also to grow on a personal level.
ARKAD stands out in student life when it comes to challenges and opportunities. You get to work with students from various sections, build connections with industry professionals, and contribute to a project that in many ways mirrors the collaborative work environment you’ll encounter after graduation. How incredible is it that we, as students, get to manage a project with hundreds of volunteers, a multi-million SEK budget, and a well-established, powerful brand?

What was the best part of ARKAD?
Without a doubt, the sense of community we built within the Project Group.
I think the fun factor is essential for the success of student projects in general, and ARKAD is no exception. This year, I’ve made friends for life!

Why should someone apply to ARKAD (LG)?
It’s immensely rewarding to contribute to the fair, watch it take shape over the year, and then, in November, stand in the spotlight as part of the committee, the union, and the Project Group. I think it’s safe to say that few people on campus miss ARKAD when it’s happening!

What was your favorite event of the year? Why?
It’s hard to choose, but LARM 2024 is definitely high on the list!
For those who don’t know, the union collaborates with other major technology student unions in Sweden, and part of that involves the Project Group visiting fairs hosted by other unions, such as LARM (Linköping’s version of ARKAD) in early February. Since the Project Group is formed at the end of January, the trip to Linköping becomes a unique experience where you’re thrown into a new city with new people you’ve barely met before. It’s fantastic for building group dynamics!

Why did you apply to the Management Team?
I applied to the Management Team because I was part of the Project Group in 2023 and found ARKAD to be an incredibly fun and rewarding experience. This year, I wanted to try a different role, and the position of Head of Marketing and Recruitment was the one that intrigued me the most. I wanted to develop my leadership and planning skills, and I felt that the Management Team was the perfect fit. The idea of working on marketing and recruitment for an organization as significant as ARKAD sounded exciting, and I was honored to take part for another year!

Why should someone apply to the Management Team?
I think you should apply to the Management Team if you’re excited about a challenge and eager to contribute to a large-scale project. You’ll get the chance to work with driven people from across LTH while shaping next year’s ARKAD!

What was the best part of ARKAD?
The best part of ARKAD is the sense of community and all the amazing people you meet throughout the year. After numerous meetings, events, and long days together, you grow really close to the group. Working toward the same goal creates a tight-knit team, leading to unforgettable memories and lifelong friends!

What is the best ARKAD merch of all time?
A tough choice, but I’d have to say the shot glasses! They’re so fun as collectables, and I love the designs (especially sjönsjön). Beyond using them as shot glasses or for measuring, I also use them as decorations, jewelry holders, and even a rolling pin when baking (:

Why did you apply to the management team?
In 2023, I was Business Manager with the goal of setting new records while also growing on a personal level. In 2024, I wanted to take it a step further—not just breaking new records, but shaping the fair according to my own vision.

What was the best part of ARKAD?
The camaraderie with the project group and coordinators was amazing. After all, ARKAD is the largest and most fun committee at the student union :))

Why should someone apply to the management team?
Join ARKAD’s Management Team and gain a unique opportunity to shape and lead a committee that is also one of Lund’s largest projects. As a member, you play a central role in creating a fair that inspires thousands of students.

What are your best tips for Your CV and LinkedIn?
Use Overleaf with LaTeX to create your CV – it gives a clean and professional look. Pick a simple template with sections for personal information, experience, education, projects, and anything else relevant to the role you're applying for. One tip: always tailor your CV to match the job – it really makes a difference!
As for LinkedIn, think of it as your digital platform where you can showcase a great photo and gather all the important information about yourself. From there, you can pull the details that fit each CV. It saves time and keeps everything organized!

Why did you apply to the management team?
I wanted to combine my interest in app development with a meaningful student context and contribute to ARKAD’s success. The challenge of applying to the management team for Scandinavia’s largest career fair was also very appealing.

I looked forward to contributing to the development of an app that would be used by many across LTH and to enhancing the fair experience for engineering students. The challenge of being in the management team for Scandinavia’s largest career fair was a big draw.

What was the best part of ARKAD?
Seeing all parts of ARKAD come together: the management team, project group, coordinators, and hosts, to deliver a large (and very successful!) event.
But also getting to know so many new people, from various programs, whom I never would have met otherwise.

Why should someone apply to the Management Team?
As a member of the management team, you gain experience in leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork, while also building a strong network with both students and industry professionals. Beyond the work, there are fun events and a fantastic sense of community.

The ARKAD Management Team is a unique student engagement opportunity at LTH, unlike anything else. It develops you both personally and professionally, strengthening your leadership skills and helping you build valuable connections with people from various sections. It’s a rare opportunity during your studies.

What was the worst bug in the app? Why?
Two days before the fair, an app update was released for Android that included a configuration error, causing the app to fail to open for a large number of users.
It became a real nail-biter when the final version of the app was approved for release by the app store at 07:08 on the first day of the fair—just a few hours before it was set to kick off.

Why did you apply to the management team?
It was the natural next step for me. I had been involved in sectional fairs before and had a lot of fun there. ARKAD is much larger, which meant it must also be much more fun. I also saw an opportunity to develop myself, especially in leadership and planning.

Why should someone apply to the management team?
Join ARKAD’s Management Team and gain a unique opportunity to shape and lead a committee that is also one of Lund’s largest projects. As a member, you play a central role in creating a fair that inspires thousands of students.

What was the best part of ARKAD?
The community. You become really close to the people in your subgroup if you want to. We were a group of excited individuals working on similar tasks toward the same goal. That we liked the same things was no surprise.

Carpet-laying weekend: yay or nay?
Definitely yay. Carpet-laying weekend is a logistician’s wet dream. To manage 80+ people to carry out a clear task within a set timeframe. You also get the chance to improve on how it was done last time and find new ways to optimize the process. If this sounds even the slightest bit exciting, then Head of Fair and Logistics is your call!
