This article proposes a career counseling group design for mid-to-late career adults who have been unemployed for six months or longer. Career construction theory is the theoretical framework for the group curriculum. In addition to practical considerations for group facilitators, the authors also provide the proposed group curriculum that utilizes the My Career Story© workbook to help participants cope with their situation and ready them for the job search by facilitating narratability, intentionality, and career adaptability. Lastly, the authors discuss potential limitations of the group followed by research implications and recommendations.
