  • 09/02/23, Apia, Samoa, Reference for Christianna Perriman
  • To whom it may concern Christianna was initially employed as a waitress at Giordano's Pizzeria & Garden Restaurant, but after showing much promise and efficiency, she was promoted to front of office from the periods of 22/04/2022 - 23/01/2023 Christianna managed our front of office, which involved invoicing of customers and working on the cash register, a job she handled well with honesty and integrity. When required she would assist on the restaurant floor, serving tables and interacting with our clientele, with whom she developed a sound rapport. We wish her well in her future endeavors and have made it abundantly clear that she will always have employment at Giordano's if she were to return to Samoa.
