When I first met Osamah, he was studying late at the Kansas State University library, and we had an intellectual conversation. Over the course of three years, I discovered that it was natural for him to spend very long hours studying and working. He is a hard worker. I also discovered that he is honest; he will admit if he does not know something, however he will immediately set out to discover the answer. He is a talented artist as well as very patient, making him an excellent architect. I also know that he is good at getting things done as I saw that he was an active member in a number of campus clubs, especially the Saudi Club.

Osamah is a creative person in the work environment, you can depend on him in the work. He is a very kind person and a good listener and everyone can get along with him. During his term with the company, Mr. Alhamdan has shown commendable work performance in his projects and responsibilities. I highly recommend Osamah to any prospective employer and wish him the best in his future career.
