"I am very respectful, professional, and friendly in my communication. I am a great listener and have a knack for ensuring everyone is on the same page. I have a commanding voice, am not shy, and can be assertive when necessary, such as ensuring everyone sitting in an exit row understands what is expected of them and can manage the responsibility that comes with being seated there in an emergency."

I would rate my communication skills as 8 out of 10 as at times I speak too fast and my accent is heavier than usual. I always try to obtain some acknowledgment to ensure that others understand me correctly.
