Do you feel offensive when the HR recruiter asks if you still have a job that you recently have in the resume? It came out of blue for the first time to me. Would it be really hard to tell the recruiter if you just lost the job?

Do I feel offended? No. Will they find out what your last day of employment was? Yes. If it’s within a matter of days (plus or minus a week) no one cares

No. I have been asked that many times and didn't even think twice

I don't think it's that big of a deal. Just be honest, because they will find out eventually.

Not offended. hr is just doing their job.

No, not offended at all, it’s a very reasonable question.
If you are writing your resume honestly, you list the date as a “present” job, or state when it ended.
If you are not listing dates, then yes, you will probably get the question, because you are hoping they will make an incorrect assumption.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
