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

    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this HOD Languages role?",
      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"HOD Languages — Akal Academy\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."

      "q": "What questions are asked in a HOD Languages interview?",

      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Typically 3–7 working days after the final interview, once reference checks and internal approvals are done. Verbal confirmations sometimes come sooner — always wait for the written offer before resigning your current role."
