Do international job applications have it rough when a job description requires "excellent communication skills"?

A lot of international job seekers have a strong ascent when speaking English. And I have notice that a lot of job requirements state that the candidate must have "excellent communication skills". So, does this mean that if you have an ascent speaking English, then you are not fit for the job?

"TheBestMan" A lot of international job seekers have a strong ascent when speaking English.

Yeah, typically if you have an ascent speaking English, you're going to have a tough time.

Some ascents are 29,000 feet (Everest). Its important to know if you want an ascent speaking English or Nepali. A lot of people don't have ascents speaking Nepali, but if you know the language they are definitely a cheaper way to go for your ascent.
