Starting a new job feels exciting and a little scary. A checklist takes that worry away.

ChatGPT is a free helper you type to, like texting. You tell it about your new job. It writes back a simple list.

You can list what to bring, who to ask, and what to wear. Then you walk in feeling ready.

Try this
  1. Open ChatGPT in your web browser or app.
  2. Type the job title and your start date.
  3. Ask it to list what to bring and prepare.
  4. Read the list and save it on your phone.
A message you can copy

Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.
