Core and Spiral

Core & Spiral

You will find a comprehensive explanation of this unique concept in the PMSP© book, see link below. I have been asked often to place this on the website. The C&S process is the core to finding a new job, facing all applicants in this new uncertain market place. It is the process whereby you identify the 18 core companies to actively solicit for a position. The C&S method is also one of the baseline processes for the CISA program.

1. First you list your Core competencies, then your experiences, then employers and then contacts.

Example: What is the most recent industry in which you have sold or worked?

2.Then you list your interests, things you enjoy, things you dislike and things you find distasteful about business practices.

3. From that Core you develop a list of 18 potential companies, competitors, vendors, clients to solicit for a new position.

There is an opportunity out there, you just have to be creative and aggressive.

CISA Core & Spiral Checklist

By following your own priorities you will determine the best target companies to work. Your competencies and experiences should have already been listed on ACP checklist. If you need a quick painless way to objectively choose target companies then this might be of use. After you have listed as many as come to mind, put the list away and look at it again the next day. You now have you list of 18.
