I have been laid off. When I say I am an immediate joiner, the recruiter asks why have you put down paper without offer. If I say the actual reason they either don't call back else reducing expected salary near to the one I was drawing before or less than that also. If I say some other reason they are asking too much cross question. How to handle it?

First i will suggest ,always have a counter offer.
Second, its better to rest few more days or week, rather than joining on low salary expectations. Instead utilize that time to add some weight to your resume.

I was laid off last year August. It's very shocking and I know the feel. As the Tietoevry person mentioned I told the HRs that no company accepts 3 months notice and all want immediate joiners. No one questioned me further. Never reveal anyone that you were fired. Not even to family and friends. Dont go for low salary. Keep on up skill and try it in linkedin. You will get job soon. Dont loose hope. All the best bro.

@OP I hope you got another job and feeling relaxed.

Be honest. And join a company that values honesty.

Yeah but such a moronic recruiters doesnot let such honest people join the company

Don't shy away, it is what it is ...get the rounds cleared and then re negotiate the salary
