First of all, honesty comes from within, it's who you are.   No matter what happened in your past,  today can be the turning point.   Honesty will improve your chances of being selected. 
Next is your commitment. You must show-up on-time, every day. Do your best at all times, no matter what you're doing, do your best.   
We are aware you are learning and will not expect you to know everything in the beginning.  But we do require your best at all times. 
Our success depends on your success.  We are willing to train you for a lifetime career.   However, the only way to succeed is doing your best.   
As long as you show us you are trying we are going to do our best to make sure you succeed.

We try hard to make this a great place to work.  However, employees are required to work in challenging conditions every day.   It is hot and sweaty in the summer and freezing in the winter.  You will be required to wear safety equipment, respirator when working in fumes, dust, smoke, and or toxic atmosphere.  You will be required to work in extremely tight, confined spaces.  You might be required to wear a full body harness while working on scaffolding in high elevations, sometime 75-100 feet in the air.  If you are timid, afraid of heights, or claustrophobic, this might not be the best career choice for you.  We will do our best to help you get in a trade that will minimize extreme conditions but we want you to know up front, what to expect and  it's possible you will be required to work in these conditions.  These are high paying careers, but it is hard work.   During your training and performance evaluation you will be given instructions on how and when to use personal protective equipment.  Your hands on training will consist of real life examples that you will encounter on the job.
