Coordinators review them weekly or fortnightly." }, { "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." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly." }, { "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.

Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download." }, { "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?", "a": "Yes — established schools provide EPF (Provident Fund) and gratuity (after 5 years), and most also provide ESI for staff under the wage threshold. Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter." } ] }
