As emerging adults transition to adulthood, a significant struggle is how to find meaningful work. Emerging adults' career decisions influence both their personal well-being and the greater occupational landscape, and those who can articulate a purpose for their career are better positioned to navigate the changing world of work. A concept that addresses this stage of identity exploration is that of a career calling, defined as putting one's purpose into action to benefit others. Calling is a dynamic construct that is experiential, and this study utilized narrative research to understand emerging adult Christian females' experiences of developing a career calling. From the participants' career calling stories, a meta-narrative emerged. First, opportunities to enact innate identities and explore career options from a young age guided the participants toward initial career decisions. Then during their journeys into adulthood, each participant experienced a turning point event, categorized as either a trauma, tragedy, or transition. The participants responded to these events by: (1) Rethinking their situations, (2) Reaffirming their career paths, (3) Engaging in relationships, and (4) Realigning their lives around their values. This process resulted in a clarification of their callings, which they defined as (1) intentional, (2) an investment in others, (3) rooted in identity, and (4) a response to their faith beliefs. Lastly, the participants demonstrated agency and adaptability as they envisioned the future of their callings. Overall, these findings provide a framework for schools, universities, and organizations to design interventions to guide their students or employees toward developing a calling.
