## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.

- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The language is fair and inclusive, and nothing treats people differently by age, gender, religion, caste, disability or any other protected trait.
- It is written for a real-estate brokerage; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks fair-housing rules and local property regulations.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Candidate rejection email” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: rejection email under 120 words. It makes the assistant work through 3 steps in order, starting with "thank them specifically", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a real-estate brokerage, so the assistant keeps fair-housing rules and local property regulations in mind and judges the result by days on market and closed deals. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [STAGE], [ROLE], [FEEDBACK] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about days on market and closed deals before you share it.
