This paper discusses the final considerations of a research in the English teacher education field whose ultimate goal is to follow the professional development of in-service teachers who took Letras Course at a public institution in the interior of São Paulo state, and who left the university in 2002. Based on the theoretical references by Sikes (1985), Silva and Margonari, (2003/2004 and 2005), Travaglia (1991) and Orlandi (1983), we analyze Practicum I and II reports and questionnaire excerpts comparing them to data from these former in-service students. The results demonstrate that feelings like insecurity and anxiety related to the future career, felt especially during the Undergraduate Program, are still present in the beginning of the in-service career and, besides being most of the times overcome, such feelings vary according to the student-teacher profile who, in an exploration of professional possibilities period, structures and restructures the diverse options which life offers them.
