Thus, the fundamental question of this study are the challenges of the beginning of the career. The object of the research is to identify the challenges found at the beginning of the career and to recognize the initial movements of teaching, considering that it is at this stage that changes in roles occur, where the student becomes the teacher. Methodologically, a bibliography research was conducted backed by the primary authors that deal with the topic as well as recent productions. Our study shows that the challenges in starting to teach imply several others, mainly in personal life and that are intertwined with the profession. As well as the psychological and emotional preparation necessary for this phase, which are not addressed enough in teacher training courses who arrive unprepared to the phase that follows. Therefore, we understand that in the career initiation phase there are several challenges for the teacher to overcome and this makes continuous teaching learning movements necessary.
