Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan." }, { "q": "Is school transport available for staff?", "a": "Many schools offer staff bus service on their main routes, either free or at a nominal fee. Availability depends on whether your home is near a school route — confirm with HR." }, { "q": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?", "a": "You'll get a status notification on School Jobs India (and by email) each time the school updates your application — Shortlisted, Interviewing, Offered or Not selected. Sign in and open \"My applications\" to see the timeline anytime." }, { "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Humanities role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Humanities — Doon Heritage School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." }, { "q": "What is the salary for this HOD Humanities role?", "a": "The salary band is shown in the \"Key facts\" panel above.
