left my job because of many reasons, that was quite a few months back, took a break, went on a holiday (they wouldn't have it approved either because 'it was too early to tell' even after i tried to have it approve 3 separate times), and just started job-hunting. people might think that it's such a stupid thing to do, but if i had to choose again, i would have done the same thing. my last job didn't allow me to go on leaves, didn't allow me to take leave at all. I was shagging for them for a year and each time I needed to go on leave to attend an interview, i had to cancel at the last minute because the managers would cite reasons like, 'oh there's a (client) meeting' even if it's just a regular meeting, any of my project teammates can be there WITHOUT me. Meetings can happen like 4-5 times a week so I can pretty much not take leave to go for interviews. As a result I missed out on quite a few interviews because i couldn't get out of the office due to reasons stated above. This also happened during the time I was serving my notice period, and i was extremely annoyed. in the end i din manage to clear my leaves (not cashable), only managed to attend one interview out 4 (3 others i had to cancel, couldn't even reschedule).

right now i do have interviews coming, so i'm not complaining.

Default No reply from HR after referral checks were done

After referral checks were done and follow-up email was sent to Hr to query on my application status, yet the HR still didn't reply to the email after 2 days, does this implies my chances are slim?

Give it at least a week before you call in to check. Sometimes the person in charge might be on MC or leave. The world doesn't revolve around you u know.

Chill, just ignore such comments. And yes, don't understand why some ppl are so insensitive towards others.
