  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",
      "a": "Annual increments are usually announced in March/April, alongside the new academic year. Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none."
    },
    {
      "q": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?",
      "a": "Every status change (viewed, shortlisted, interview scheduled, offered) is pushed to your dashboard and email. Turn on job alerts for the same role in the same city so you don't lose momentum if this one pauses."
    },
    {
      "q": "What qualifications are required for a Office Assistant?",
      "a": "The role expects relevant qualifications and prior experience in a similar setup. Schools generally prefer candidates with verifiable training and references for Office Assistant positions."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?",
      "a": "School roles are on-site by default — classroom teaching and student supervision require physical presence. Online tutoring openings are tagged separately on School Jobs India."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I make a resume for a CBSE Office Assistant job?",
      "a": "A CBSE-focused resume works best when it starts with a role-anchored headline, highlights B.Ed/CTET/PD upfront, and lists measurable outcomes (result percentages, project launches, retention) under each school. Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this Office Assistant role?",
      "a": "Use a clear subject line with role and your name, open with which vacancy you're applying to, then a 4-5 line summary of qualifications, teaching experience and notice period. Close with availability for a demo lesson and interview. Attach a one-page PDF resume — long text bodies get skimmed."
    },
    {
      "q": "Are meals provided at school?",
      "a": "Most schools offer a subsidised staff canteen or a daily mid-morning snack and lunch. Boarding schools typically include all meals for residential staff."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the average Office Assistant salary in Chennai?",
      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Office Assistant pay in Chennai varies with years of experience (each 3-year block adds roughly 15-25%), board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."

    {
      "q": "Is this a contract or permanent role?",
      "a": "This is listed as a full time role. The exact contract term and renewal terms are confirmed at offer stage."

    {
      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",
      "a": "The employment type is shown in the Key Facts section above. Fixed-term roles usually align to the academic year; permanent roles are open-ended after probation. The final letter will spell out renewal and exit terms."
