## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I've hired a [JOB TITLE, e.g. weekend sales assistant] for [YOUR BUSINESS, e.g. a garden center]. They start on [START DAY, e.g. Saturday the 9th]. Training will be done by [WHO TRAINS THEM, e.g. me and our senior assistant].

What they must know by the end of week one: [MUST KNOW, e.g. till, returns, plant care basics]

Build a five-day plan as a table with these columns: Day | Goal for the day | Who they shadow | What they learn or practice | End-of-day check question.

Also include:
- A first-morning welcome list (where things are, who's who, breaks, what to wear)
- What to leave until week two, so they aren't overloaded
- A short text I can send them the night before day one

Keep it practical, friendly and realistic for a small team.
