    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days. If you don't hear back in two weeks, the role has usually been filled or paused — keep applying to similar openings in the meantime."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I write an application email for this PGT Biology role?",
