    },
    {
      "q": "When does the school want the joining date to be?",
      "a": "Joining dates are usually negotiable around the school calendar. Mid-term joining is common for replacement vacancies; new positions often align to April or the start of the next term."

Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download."
