4. How should I answer the salary expectation question?
Give a range, not a single number. Anchor on the typical Accountant band in Thane (see the Salary snapshot on this page) plus a 10-15% premium for your experience. Say you're open to discussion once the role scope is confirmed.
5. Tell me about yourself — how should I frame my self-introduction?
Keep it 60-90 seconds: start with your name and current role, then two or three highlights that map to the Accountant brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Seth Hirachand Mutha School, in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
6. What is your greatest strength and weakness as an educator?
