      "q": "What is the leave policy?",

      "q": "How do I make a resume for a CBSE Head of School job?",

    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",

    {
      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",
      "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC.

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."
