“…Although tests are still used widely in practice and research with favorable outcomes, their integration with qualitative methods could elevate the evaluation of clients' traits (interests, values, etc.) to a level of sophistication able to provide meaningful explanations for particular outcomes (Ambiel, 2020). In order to foster individuals' self-development we need to augment the objective career assessment methods by narratives, not replace them.…”

Although robust evidence has been accumulating over the last decades supporting the effectiveness of career counseling in various populations, yet there are scarce conceptual or empirical studies investigating the impact of distinct approaches, such as traditional-“psychometric,” narrative, or a mixed (integrative) one. The primary aim of this paper is to make a contribution in the field, providing a synthetic overview of contemporary research findings regarding the effectiveness of narrative and mixed career counseling approaches with a special focus on university students. The recent trend of utilizing mixed approaches in career assessment and intervention is also emphasized in the article, suggesting they may have a great potential in helping young adults advance meaning-making about career and life design. Finally, a discussion of both benefits and challenges relating to narrative and mixed interventions along with recommendations for extending research in the area of assessing career interventions’ effectiveness for university students is provided.
