Selecting minority when applying, does that increase your chances of an interview?

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

What questions do you ask in an interview to find out more about work life balance? I’m considering leaving audit however don’t want to end up in another firm that works around the clock.
