I love hands on work and am extremely interested in becoming an electrician.
You call my current boss, and she will tell you I am the hardest worker she has, and can always be counted on to handle situations that she cant. (due to whatever reason.)

I am 21 years old country boy, and have a strong work ethic.

But here is what has turned people away from me in the past, and I am hoping to find out that this is not the case here.

When I was junior in highschool, at 17 years of age, I recieved a misdemeanor for possession of marijuana.

I know it doesnt matter that I havent touched the stuff since, and dont plan too, but I am hoping these people can look past that in the hiring process.

What do you think, do I have a chance of getting the apprenticeship?

He is an apprentice electrician and has his card saying that but it’s for Texas. When we move to California, how does he get certified for that state? Does he have to find an employer to do this through or will he need this before-hand? Is there a website or a place that he can go to in order to get this state certification or… I guess just… How does this work? =/

Any helpful answers you may have would help!

Thank you! :D
