Applying for a job

[Wildwelder96]

When applying for a job have any of y'all been asked to show your high school diploma to the employer? Because I know online most of the requirements for welding jobs require a high school diploma. It sucks for me because I lost my high school diploma. I have my college welding diploma though.

Call your high school and get a duplicate. Did you need your diploma for collage ?

Your former high school will re issue you a copy of your diploma. Sometimes they may charge a fee.

A lot of people don't have their high school diploma handy. If it's a welding job the college welding diploma probably carries more weight.

I do not believe I have ever had to show m HS diploma for a job, but most of the places I have worked I was known to them already.

Alright good because I know I can go get a high school diploma replaced but I was like maybe I don't even need it since I have my college welding degree diploma

While it may be odd to be asked, just get a copy and be done with it.

Good luck

If you complete 12 years of school, do not have a child before 21 and do not get married before 21 the stats indicate that you will never fall below the poverty line. So what I am saying if a business is looking for success minded people they would at least ask for your completion certificate or grade 12 equivalency.
To stick it to the system I never graduated then took night school then took first year university courses at college. I ended up with a degree but I officially never graduated. LOL It used to cause confusion on some job applications and employers thought it humorous.

Yep and you really don't even need to be '0nline' I know a guy made plenty of 'documents' pre-internet.... most things really aren't even that complicated to 'make'

Is that what ya call fabrication work?

[smithdoor]

It can also call FAB too.
Typically in metal buildings you here FAB work. Other industries will call Fabrication or FAB work.
