heya, all:

(Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you feel who would benefit 
from it.)

The company I work for, Pryer Machine & Tool, has a number of openings in both 
our Tulsa & Claremore facilities.  The company’s been around for over 40 years, 
and is family owned.  We’re clean, air conditioned, and not like any other 
manufacturing company you’ve ever seen. Unlike other companies who are in 
aerospace, we have had ONE layoff in the entire history of the company (9/11) 
and we brought everyone back within 6 months who wanted to come back.  I’ve 
been very happy here, and am delighted to discuss specifics of jobs, or the 
company itself, or provide general details on benefits (LTD/STD, 401k with 
match, health, dental, vision, supplimental polices, etc) – I can be reached on 
my cell at 918-835-8885.

We have three shifts:  1st shift = Monday through Friday, 6am to 2:30 pm (5 
days, 8 hours each), 2nd shift = Monday through Thursday, 2:30 pm to 1:00 am (4 
days, 10 hours each), and 3rd shift = Friday – Saturday – Sunday, 2:00 pm to 
2:30 AM (3 days, 12 hours each, but paid for 40 hours).

As an extra incentive:  At this time, the company is offering a variety of 
referral bonuses for any employee who refers a candidate who is hired on. These 
bonuses range from $50 gift cards, to $1500.00, depending on the position.  I 
am happy to split this referral bonus 50/50 with anyone who provides my name 
(Bethany Vann) as a referral source, who is hired on. The referral bonus is 
going on from now through May 14th, 2008.
