      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, HOD Humanities pay in East Sikkim varies with years of experience (each 3-year block adds roughly 15-25%), board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Response times vary, but shortlisted candidates are typically contacted within a week. You'll get a notification on School Jobs India the moment the school updates your application status."

    },
    {
      "q": "How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD Humanities job?",
      "a": "A CBSE-focused resume works best when it starts with a role-anchored headline, highlights B.Ed/CTET/PD upfront, and lists measurable outcomes (result percentages, project launches, retention) under each school. Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download."
    },
    {
      "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": "Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?",
      "a": "Yes, for board-affiliated school teaching roles a B.Ed is generally required. Exceptions exist for very experienced subject experts and for play-school/early-years specialists."
