      "q": "What's the interview process like for this role?",
      "a": "Hiring usually takes 2–3 rounds: an initial call, a hands-on assessment, then a final round. Bring photocopies of your qualifications and at least one professional reference."

    {
      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",
