Abstract

The aim of this paper is to broadly outline itineraries of employment insertion of the sociologists, and have greater knowledge of the professional reality of this group in the private sector, in an attempt to inquire about the “job”. And knowing the professional identity of sociologists in the private sector, and the place they occupy. This issue is considered necessary both to identify needs or gaps to overcome in the future to face and adjust the professional reality as well as to meet the demands of future graduates in their practice and professional development. And all this, from the results obtained by empirical work from a questionnaire to meet the professional situation of Spanish sociologists in the private sector.
