The experience of transitions as a feature of new career paths highlights the need for innovation in interventions. Among the new interventions, life design interventions with the aim of changing career narratives can be stated. the present study was conducted for 2 purposes. The first goal was to examine the impact of career narrative interventions based on my career story (MCS) and pictorial narratives (PN) on future career autobiography (FCA), and the second goal was to study how these interventions affect the successful transition through making a change in agency and reflexivity. The research method used in this study was qualitative and it was a case study. This study deeply examined the impact of interventions based on my career story and pictorial narratives on a case study that took place in 4 sessions. Data collection methods included in-depth interviews, observation, and document recording. The changes made in the future career autobiography were studied using the future career autobiography form (Rehfuss,2009) as a pre-post intervention comparison. Comparing the pre-post intervention in the case under study, reported that 2 kinds of changes have happened: thematic changes in the future career autobiography form in General Interests to More Specification and Disregard to Direction Theme. The results of the study show that the use of narrative interventions (MCS) and (PN) in the form of a single intervention is useful for the development of the studied futuristic career narratives. Also, making changes in agency and thinking has helped him with transition through college successfully.
