In order to investigate the transition of people with disabilities - whether physical, hearing, visual, mental or mixed - from school to the job market, this study, driven by Brazilian Federal law of quotas (a reservation of openings for people with disabilities), analyzes the results of three open public service recruitment exams, held in 2005, 2006 and 2007, in order to check if people with disabilities rely exclusively on quotas and keep competing with each other. The results indicated that the number of people with disabilities who seek integration into the job market, in the public service, has increased, but has not yet reached 1% of total applicants. The analysis, comparing the results of the exams, suggests that candidates who declare themselves disabled have remote chances of entering a public service career if not legally supported by quotas.
