Interview Techniques

Attended military schools around Europe and America, I was always involved in journalism via the schools' newspapers. Besides having learned at a very young age the mastery of the five W's and relating the answers to those questions to article content which appealed to the reader, as an experienced business woman and journalist, I know and understand the value of first impressions and the concept of following through on that positive impression, in order to get the principle to answer the questions that are asked during the interview process. As a seasoned writer I am capable of asking pertinent intelligent questions that go to the heart of the issue. This skill has served me well in my pursuits as a professional journalist.


Professional Standing & Writing Skills

I am accustomed to writing cost outlines, articles and essays, for the information or pleasure of the reader. I am adept at writing articles concerning interior design, as well as business, with an emphasis on real estate, law, finance, governmental affairs and military strategies concerning terrorism. I am certain that with my diverse background and my cognitive skills that I could adapt my talents as an investigative journalist to suit the criteria for print or online news sources. My current work with jerusalemnewslive.tv is easily documented with a simple Google search for Aviva Lee.


Ability to Adapt & Maintain Flexible Posture For Task Orientation

Due to my private history of being comfortable adapting to changing places and changing faces, and due to my professional history of being required to juggle more than one project at a time, I possess a refined ability to function successfully in a fast paced, changing work setting. My ability to be flexible and the psychological posture I maintain while doing so, encourages others to gladly do the same. I am quite accustomed to meeting deadlines and the pressure associated with those deadlines is something which fuels my productivity.

I am considered a charismatic and charming individual both privately and professionally.
