Storlie, Cassandra A.; Hilton, Tracy Lara; Duenyas, Deborah; Archer, Robin; Glavin, Kevin
Journal of College Counseling, v21 n1 p29-42 Apr 2018
The authors collected narrative data from 11 African American female college students at a predominantly White institution using the Career Construction Interview (Savickas & Hartung, 2012), the Future Career Autobiography (Rehfuss, 2009), and a qualitative career experiences questionnaire. Using the constant comparison method (Strauss & Corbin, 1990), the authors uncovered 4 overarching themes based on the unique experiences of participants. The authors present insights for college counselors providing career development services.
