Hey Reddit, 

I have a quick question for you all. I applied for a research job about two months ago went through the interview process and passed. 

However, due to the recent budget cuts and the fact that it is a government job, my resume needed to be approved by the chief before being hired. 

After my last interview I was told by the staff scientist hiring me that I would hear back soon. Two weeks ago I emailed him asking to follow up (three weeks after the last interview) on the process and whether or not there was enough funds to bring me into the lab. However, he didn't email me back. This staff scientist has a lot on his hands and kind of forgets things all the time ( he missed my first phone interview because he forgot about it, and forgot to reply to one of my earlier emials as well). 

I need to know about the status of this job since if i'm not hired i need to look at other options. How do I politely remind him that I need an update on this position?
