July 10, 2025
Just Hired! Through the experiences of local, regional, national, and international students, ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½app Illinois University has some incredible alumni who are changing the world in the workforce. This series will feature students from all over the world who are hired post-graduation.
MOLINE, IL –– Meet Kayla Adams, a ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½app Illinois University Museum Studies graduate, who was recently hired at Carelinks ABA Therapy as an in-home ABA Therapist for children with autism.
Adams did a job shadow with the company before applying online. She had two interviews and was offered the position.
"The first was about a 15-minute phone call, just talking about my interest and how I heard about the job. The second was a little different. It was also a short phone call, but with a new VP of Client Management. Five minutes after that phone call ended, the founder called and offered me a job," Adams said.
Adams shares that she learned a lot from her degree at ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½app. It gave her the chance to learn about many different aspects of the museum world and skills that are transferable to different fields.
"The skills that I learned while doing this aren't confined to the classroom or the museum. They transfer to just about any job field. One thing I reinforced while at ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½app was my want to have a job where I have the chance to improve others' lives," Adams said.
