How long does it take to hear back after applying?
Schools usually shortlist within a week or two. Set up a job alert for similar roles so you don't miss the next match if this one doesn't move forward.
Is English fluency required?
Yes — instruction is in English at most CBSE schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected.

How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD English job?

Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download.
