In the quantitative part, Bezo Taylor's Career Decision Questionnaire (1983) was used to identify successful students in career decision-making, and in the qualitative part, in-depth interviews were used to investigate the experiences of successful students in career decision-making. The statistical population of this research includes all female students in the 11th ,12th grades in the academic year of 1401-1402 in Kermanshah city, and the sampling method in the first stage, which was conducted with the aim of identifying successful students in making career decisions, is random. 200 students completed the career decision questionnaire. In the second step, students' grades were calculated using spss_22 software, and those who scored higher than one standard deviation were identified as successful students in making career decisions, and 15 of them were interviewed in depth. In the last two interviews, no new information was obtained and the data reached saturation. Findings: After examining and coding the data of each group in three stages of open, central and selective coding, a total of 43 concepts were obtained in relation to the experiences of successful students in making career decisions, which were categorized into 10 central categories. And finally, they were classified into 3 categories: self-knowledge, environmental factors, and occupation. Conclusions: According to the findings of the research, it can be said that the student's knowledge of himself, the job he is considering, and the environment in which he is located, play a strong and influential role in his career decision. Paying attention to the concepts resulting from the review of experiences can be useful to help other students in making career decisions.
