    },
    {
      "q": "How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD English job?",

      "q": "What is the average HOD English salary in Shimla?",
      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD English roles in Shimla. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base."

    },
    {
      "q": "Are detailed lesson plans expected?",
      "a": "Most schools expect weekly lesson plans submitted to the coordinator/HOD, plus unit plans at the start of each term. Templates are usually provided."
