live their insertion to the labour market in the area of the Great Florianópolis – Santa Catarina
state - Brasil. The participants of this research were 7 psychologists, whose the time of
graduation varied from the recent graduation to two years. Five of them were women and two
were men, with ages between 24 and 28 years old. The research was of qualitative nature, and
the instrument for the information collection was a semi-structured interview. The technique
used to treat the discoveries of this study was the content analysis. Through that analysis,
three great themes were identified: the insertion process into the labour market, the feelings
lived during the insertion process and the constitution of the professional identity. As of those
themes, the following categories emerged: (1) the psychologists perceptions on the labour
market, (2) the insertion strategies, (3) the university role; (4) low self-esteem, (5) fear, (6)
anxiety, (7) anguish, (8) depression, (9) frustration; (10) the end of the nexus between them
and the university, (11) the insertion as a transition for adult life; and (12) insertion as a
statement of the professional identity. The confrontation of the existent expectations just after
the graduation with the adversities found in the professional insertion attempts marked to the
subjectivity of those new psychologists in a striking way, as they came across the
contradictions in the current work world. The subjective consequences of that process for
most of those people were: the disturbance of the self-esteem, anxiety, depression, a shock in
the professional identity, insecurity, anguish, fear front the future, shame and guilty. They
used as insertion strategies: the sending of curriculum vitae through Internet for the private
companies, the participation in public concourses for vacancies in Psychology or positions
that just demanded the high school, voluntary works and the extension of studies. To
summarize, the professional insertion difficulties have printed in those recently graduated
professionals an impact into their professional identities because they were not getting to
materialize the knowledge learned during the graduation course in working as psychologists.
