The majority of organizations which employ tradespeople are going to look for those who are excited to do the job and show enthusiasm toward bettering themselves in their line of work. Nobody comes in perfect, and to be completely honest, few, if any, can be deemed perfect in their skillset, but it is much easier to work with someone who openly accepts constructive criticism and uses it to better their understanding of what it is they do. Welding isn't a customer facing role, so language and writing, nor interpersonal skills are not going to be too important. They will want to see someone who follows direction well and pays close attention to detail.
Any employer worth their weight is going to encourage you to ask questions and want to help you do better, which in turn makes them look better.
Finally, keep in mind that employment is a two-way street. There is this mindset that it is always on the employee to impress the employer, and say and do whatever it takes to get hired. There might be some truth to that in the start, but as you perfect your skill, it is important that during interviews, you are asking questions, too. Make sure that the company is a good fit for you, too.

Not the same industry but our company values are - we are builders, we are owners, we are curious, and we are positrons. Many companies post there Mission, Vision and Values on their websites. If not, you should be able to reach out over email to inquire. For example, at Twilio, we post our Twilio Magic here https://www.twilio.com/en-us/company/values.
We use the Magic Values to evaluate candidates, provide performance feedback and try to live those values in how we work in our day to day. If values are not available, that may not be a negative against the company, but I could imagine that the company might be inconsistent with regards to the culture and how they deal with people management and operations.

This is a great question:
1. Be humble
2. Be confident and let them know what you can bring to the team.
3. Provide what they want and what you can do (but don't hint that you will change everything if you could)
4. Know the employee environment and how things work beyond the job itself
5. Be excited. Let them know you have a good balance, but you are motivated and excited to contribute to the team.
Good luck!

Consistency, committed, self-starter, honesty, integrity, willingness to learn, team player, motivated, these are characteristics of individuals I want working for me. I can teach a person to do the work but I can’t change who they are on the inside.
