If you have left a position you held for two years started a new job and after a week and a half they fire you because, they find out they cannot insure you on automotive insurance can you receive unemployment benefits?

The job that I am applying for requires a resume, but I’ve only worked one other place. Will they overlook my application b/c my resume is so short?

I understand that they…
