    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Sharada Residential School?",
      "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (state-board) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification."

Close with availability for a demo lesson and interview. Attach a one-page PDF resume — long text bodies get skimmed."
