Re: Resigning vs. Non-renewal

I don't know how it works in terms of unemployment, but the
benefits of resigning rather than taking a non-renewal still far
outweigh any benefits you may get from getting unemployment IMO.

I resigned from a job several years ago, when I discovered that
there was a good chance that I would be non-renewed. What others
have suggested--that the job wasn't a good fit, that you were
looking for an environment that better fit your philosophy, etc,
all work fine.
