Help me prepare for my first day and plan my first 90 days. The role: [title, team, paste the job ad if you have it] My manager: [name and role] What I know about the priorities: [anything] Start date and how I'll get there: [date, travel] What I'm nervous about: [anything] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A first-day checklist: what to bring (ID and bank details for payroll, tell me to check), travel plan, what to wear. 2. Ten questions for my manager in week one, about priorities, ways of working and how success is measured. 3. A 30-60-90 day plan: learn, contribute, lead, with 3 goals each. 4. A list of people to meet and what to ask each. 5. A short message to send my manager at the end of week one. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat.
