  "question": "What should an Indian school teacher include on a resume?",
  "short_answer": "A strong Indian teacher resume is 1–2 pages, opens with a role-specific summary, lists teaching experience with measurable outcomes (board results, competition wins, class strength), and clearly separates qualifications (B.Ed, M.A., CTET, subject specialisation) from teaching experience.",
  "answer_md": "Recommended structure:\n\n1. **Header** — Name, city, phone, professional email. No photo unless the school asks.\n2. **Summary (2–3 lines)** — \"PGT English with 8 years CBSE experience, 92% Class 12 board average, IGCSE-trained.\" Tailor to each role.\n3. **Qualifications** — Highest degree first, then B.Ed, subject specialisations, CTET/TET (paper + year + score band), and language proficiency.\n4. **Teaching experience** — Reverse chronological. For each role: school name, board (CBSE/ICSE/IB), city, grades and subjects, tenure, and 2–3 outcome bullets (\"led Class 10 to 96% pass rate\", \"designed inquiry-based Grade 6 English unit adopted school-wide\").\n5. **Beyond the classroom** — Clubs led, competitions coached, curriculum committees, professional development completed.\n6. **Skills & certifications** — Tech tools (Google Classroom, Toddle, ManageBac), first-aid, CPR, safeguarding.\n\n## Common mistakes\n\n- Listing job duties instead of outcomes.\n- No CTET score or year — recruiters filter on this.\n- Generic summary that's identical across applications.\n- Missing board and city per school — recruiters skim for these first.\n\nFull templates and samples on our [teacher resume guide](/guides/teacher-resume).",
