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

      "q": "What is the average HOD Commerce salary in Mandla?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, HOD Commerce pay in Mandla rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."
