Transformations in the world of work have reshaped the concepts of career, placing the responsibility of career management on individuals and individuals must become the narrator of their own career story. The life design approach serves as a response to the need of narrating career story. This multiple case study aimed to examine the impact of life design counseling on six undergraduate students' career stories at the University of Isfahan which were selected through purposive non-probability sampling. Data were collected at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and one year later through a semi-structured interview. The phenomenological analyses showed that the narratives shifted from victimhood to agency; from unawareness to awareness; from a lack of self-knowledge to identity achievement; from a limited career story to an expanded one; from low self-efficacy to high self-efficacy; and from poor or ambiguous self-knowledge to organized and scientific self-understanding. Additionally, the range of career options was expanded. The follow-up conducted one year later indicated the stability and continuity of these changes. Most participants had actively taken steps in their careers. These actions included skill development, changing direction toward a preferred career, securing work projects, collaborating with professors, and creating new careers. Therefore, life design counseling had profound and lasting impacts on students' life stories. This approach also helped reduce students' despair about traditional careers and fostered a shift toward multiple careers and increased agency in their career development. Therefore, this approach can be considered an effective intervention in facilitating students’ transition from university to the labor market.
