get certified, just because you can weld or lay abead down isn't being a welder. What type of welding can you do? overhead, vertical up, vertical down, wire feed, core wire, mig, tig, dc stick is different than ac stick, what type of rod or wire is correct for proper penetration. Dad worked as a welding forman for years and was always getting guys in that could "weld". But the majority couldn't pass the basic test, like setting up the machine properly.
I'm not trying to be critical, but just want to point out somethings that employers might be looking for. Get certified is the best advise, that way you will understand the theory as well as the practical parts of welding, and some print reading experience.
