Just recently, I was laid off 8 week ago from a large aircraft manufacturing company after 25 plus years. I have applied for numerous jobs and positions in the aerospace industry and have been interacting over 25 with HR rep, talent coordinators and recruiters. In my last preliminary interview for a job with a recruiter, I performed badly by complaining and blaming others for my failure to get a job in the past 8 weeks. I unnecessary whine, moaned and groan and took my frustrations on a recruiter that was trying to help me. My mistake was compound by lack of empathy for these recruiters whom were trying to help me getting a job in the UAV world. During the interview over the phone, my wife was present and immediately after the phone conversation was over, my wife stated that I sounded pitifully, self-righteous and sanctimonious to a recruiter that was trying to help. Five minutes pasted, another recruited called and stated the same thing my wife had expressed to me. These recruiters were doing their job. They doing their best to help me. They are not jerks, or mean people. The only person that acted like a jerk was me and my lack of empathy. I apologist for my rude conduct and very sorry in taking out my plight on an innocent person My response should have been asking for the responsibilities and duties of this position and thank them
