Outstanding interpersonal skills

I am a unique candidate as I truly excel in both URDU and ENGLISH languages. I can read and write both of these languages as well. Unlike most native speakers I have a strong grasp of BOTH languages. I was born in Pakistan and grew up in Chicago, thus the strong base for both languages. I have worked in sales and have managed employees with outstanding results. I feel this is something I can demonstrate a lot better than write about.
