Career resources are individual characteristics that help to face the demands of professional development. The objective of this study was to adapt the Career Resource Questionnaire for Students (CRQ-S) for the Brazilian context and provide initial evidence of validity (internal structure and convergent), in addition to the analysis of configural, metric and scalar invariance by sex. The study was carried out with a sample of 463 undergraduates, of whom 237 (51.2%) described themselves as being female. The average age of the participants was 23.5 years (SD = 6.20 years). The adapted version of the CRQ-S divided 12 career resources into four dimensions and presented validity and reliability indicators favorable to its use (Human capital resources, ω = 0,82; Environmental career resources, ω = 0,79; Motivational career resources, ω = 0,88; and Career management behaviors, ω = 0,89). Dimensions of the questionnaire were convergent with career adaptability and psychological capital. Implications for theory and the practice of professional guidance and career development are discussed, as well as directions for future research.
