Spanish translation:resourceful
Explanation:
Creo que la versión en español es un calco de esta palabra en inglés porque realmente no tiene sentido "recursivo" en ese contexto

Sí, entendí el contexto y por eso creo que el escritor hizo un calco. Sí, se puede decir así.

Equanimous


Explanation:
Depende del contesto.
Equanimous es terminología filosófica y metafísica.
Una persona recursiva y perseverante, para un CV, yo la traduciría como goal-driven, ambitious, etc.

neutral  Taña Dalglish: Your use of "equanimous" (calm and composed) is not in line with the further explanation and hardly a term that would be used on a CV as far as I am aware.
5 hrs
  -> Thank you. That's why I outlined that context is important. I would not use 'equanimous' on a résumé/CV either. Equanimous means calm and composed "on the face of adversity" which is different.
