1. How long have you known the applicant and in what context? How long did he
or she work for you? If part-time, how often did he or she work?

I have known Hassan From 2016 to 2018. She worked for Dahabshil Bank International for
about Two years, first as a teller and immediately being promoted to Finance Department,
and he had really managed the department as officer. This was full time employment. I was his
branch manager until i have been promoted to South and Central Manager of DBI in Somalia.

2. What duties did the applicant perform?

A lot of research, mainly on security/political/economic risks in Western Europe.

3. What observations are you able to make with regard to the applicant's work
ethic, intellect, degree of motivation for professional achievement, and
potential for professional growth?

Work ethic is extraordinary, as is motivation. She has a lot of room to grow,

especially in leadership capacity. Her intellect is definitely there, but she can
sometimes be reserved and not let it come out as much as she could.

4. What can you tell us about the applicant's character and personal qualities?
Are there special strengths and weaknesses that we should consider?

Nothing to really say about her character other than she is extremely hard working
and committed to professional advancement. A very warm and decent person.
he is a great team player, but rarely does he take the leadership role. I think he is
fine working either in a team or independently. Independently he can focus on a
task and excel without problems, but in a team he can play the role of the
facilitator, so she is really good either way.

5. Please comment on the applicant’s ability to work with a team. If given a

choice, do you believe he or she would prefer to work independently or as
part of a group?

She is a great team player, but rarely does she take the leadership role. I think she
is fine working either in a team or independently. Independently she can focus on a
task and excel without problems, but in a team she can play the role of the
facilitator, so she is really good either way.
 6. To the best of your knowledge, can the applicant be trusted with confidential
information?

STRATFOR is a global intelligence organization that works for a number of Fortune

500 clients and handles a lot of confidential information, much more than most
private/legal businesses. If Catherine was unable to handle confidential
information, she would not have passed our thorough background checks, or
earned the trust of analysts at the company.

being excellent:

 Verbal Communication skills: 4 (shy) Organizational skills: 5
