<prompt> Human: I just got called into a meeting room an hour ago and was told that based on my performance and the company needs we will be ending your employment. Im a bit worried about the now but its my future that Im really worried about.A bit of a background. Im 31 years old, 5 years ago I moved to the USA and got my MBA, and before that I got an Accounting degree from my home country and worked there. Due to my lack of US based experience it took me a while to land this job, and it that time i worked the odd job and in my family business. Not the kind of experience that makes a resume stand out. The job i just lost was supposed to be my gateway to better things. I was finally building my resume and learning a lot. Now I cant imagine someone hiring me with a termination on my resume, and even if I hide that Im back to point zero where I have no relevant work experience.Financially ive done a good job of building my emergency fund thanks PF and i can float for a period of 3 to 6 months depending on the circumstances. My expenses are about a 1,000 whatever i spend on food live with a roommate, 200 car payment, insurance. I had previously signed a 1 year lease for a 1 bedroom apartment but i talked to the company and they they gave me 3 days to decide if I wanna backout. ill lose 300 in the process. Im leaning towards backing up.I looked into unemployment but im not sure im eligible. Based on the numbers i got I dont think its worth it made 40k, I live in Texas. Right now im still high on adrenaline but Im sure the depression will hit me hard. So apart from any survival tips, what can I do about my my resume? That job is the only good experience I have but a termination could be worse...Thanks  <response>: So for sure apply for unemployment and just see what happens. For sure update your resume to include the job, even if you got fired, just work on your story as to why you are not there anymore. And apply for a lot of temp agencies and tech recruiters... they do not care as much about your history, they just want to put butts in cubes and might even land you something you are not 100 qualified for yet, which this time I hope you swim rather than sink.
