The aim of the present study is to analyse the relationships between resilience and self-perceived employability, controlling for personality traits. One hundred and fifty-nine university students were administered the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and the Self-Perceived Employability Scale for students (SPES). The findings showed that resilience added a percentage of incremental variance compared to the variance explained by personality traits in relation to self-perceived employability, offering future perspectives of research and intervention to face the challenges of the 21st century.
