Resigned from management position thinking it would look better on job search

Resigned after being told I was going to be released from probation, now struggling to find a new job

What I wish I knew
"I should have let them release me so I could receive unemployment"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't resign thinking it will look better on a job search"
