I must disagree on one thing. If someone is applying for a consultancy
job (i.e. any job that requires interaction with customers), that
someone should be able to fluently speak the language of the region.
So, if someone is applying for a job in US, he or she should be fluent
in English. If one is applying for an international position, not
speaking English is a show-stopper. Some environments tolerate local
language ignorance, as long as Business Esperanto (English) is spoken.
I must absolutely disagree with not knowing how to explain things in
at least some detail. What good is that you can punch a bunch of
commands in terminal when you can't explain what you are doing or what
the root-cause of the particular problem is?

Fair enough if one is expected to interact with Arabic customers. If
one is applying for a position in Dubai in order to support EMEA,
English would be more important than Arabic.
