Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management.
How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD Humanities job?

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