Depends on who you're hoping to hire you, and what you expect to weld. Some things do require licensed welders, like pressure vessels, pipelines, important construction items like steel bridges etc. Other stuff, where failure is less likely to immediately put people's lives at risk, doesn't require licensed welders. And of course, it's probably easier to get employment if you have clear proof that you know what you're doing.

Explain seam welding and percussion welding?

Seam welding- resistance welding process involving the use of (normally) copper or copper alloy rollers to simultaneously pass high current (10^4 amps and usually in pulses) and apply pressure to bond a lap seam between two pieces of sheet metal. Percussion Welding- arc welding process involving the use of a capacitor bank to bond on the order of milliseconds. A high current electric arc is developed between the items to be joined, and the items are rapidly accelerated together.

What is rotpass in welding?

I think you mean root pass. An example would be when butt welding two pieces of plate together (end to end). You would grind a bevel (angle) along the edge of each plate so when you put them end to end there is a small gap between them except at one small point at the bottom. This gap will be filled with molten weld metal to fuse the two plates. Typically, this gap cannot be filled up by one pass with the weld electrode. The welder will go back and forth along the plate eventually filling the entire gap. The "root pass" is simply the first pass the welder makes.
