Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned." }, { "q": "How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD Science job?", "a": "Use the free school-style resume builder — role-anchored headline, B.Ed/CTET/PD block, and measurable outcomes per school (a one-page PDF is what shortlisters want): /resume-builder." }, { "q": "What qualifications are required for a HOD Science?", "a": "Most HOD Science roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification).

In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted.

Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing." } ] }
