One of the new directions in vocational psychology is the trend of integrating the emerging social constructivist worldview into research and practice. Narrative inquiry echoes this trend. The narrative approach facilitates the holistic construction of personal meanings within their particular life career contexts. It validates the importance of subjective career and human action in the career construction process. In elaborating the interrelationship between the notions of life, career and narrative, this paper discusses ways of conceptualising career narratives. It also proposes some guidelines for constructing life career narratives in vocational psychology and career development practice.
