Abstract:
Career construction counseling for a mid-career Black man is
examined. The author implemented a case study design and
purposively selected the participant. The intervention and
follow-up occurred over a period of 21 months, and the
Career Construction Interview (CCI; Savickas, 2011a) was
used to gather data. Savickas‟s 8-step strategy was followed
to complete the participant‟s life portrait. After the
intervention, the participant demonstrated an improved sense
of self and willingness to deal more adaptively with careerlife-
related challenges. More research is needed to determine
the long-term effects of this kind of intervention and to show
its applicability in group contexts.
