  "aboutTheRole": "We need a School Bus Driver for a fixed route — safe driving, on-time arrivals and basic vehicle care every day.",
  "dayToDay": [
    "Coordinate with the conductor on student boarding/alighting.",
    "Maintain a clean and safe vehicle interior.",
    "Conduct daily pre-trip vehicle checks (brakes, tyres, lights, fuel).",
    "Drive the assigned school route morning and afternoon.",

    {
      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Typically 3–7 working days after the final interview, once reference checks and internal approvals are done. Verbal confirmations sometimes come sooner — always wait for the written offer before resigning your current role."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this Driver role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"Driver — Stratford Public School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "Where exactly is Stratford Public School located?",
      "a": "The school is in Kollam, Kerala. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is background verification done before joining?",
      "a": "Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready."
    },
    {
      "q": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?",
      "a": "Every status change (viewed, shortlisted, interview scheduled, offered) is pushed to your dashboard and email. Turn on job alerts for the same role in the same city so you don't lose momentum if this one pauses."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job."
    },
    {
      "q": "What questions are asked in a Driver interview?",
      "a": "A full library of role-specific interview guides (PRT, TGT, PGT, subject-wise, coordinator, principal) with model answers is at /interview-questions."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days. If you don't hear back in two weeks, the role has usually been filled or paused — keep applying to similar openings in the meantime."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the leave policy?",
      "a": "Teaching staff typically get all school holidays plus 8–15 casual/sick leaves per academic year. Long vacations (summer, winter, Diwali, Holi breaks) follow the published school calendar."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?",
      "a": "Stratford Public School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework."
