It's difficult to say definitely that any instrument would 'never' be used in an orchestra, since composers can score their works (and arrangers can score other people's works) for any instruments they choose.
However, the guitar, unless used as a solo instrument, would be very unusual.
The same is true of the recorder.
The piano, though very common as a solo instrument withorchestra, is not normally present as part of the orchestra.
'Folk' instruments such as the banjo are scarcely ever included in an orchestra.
Other instruments, such as the Saxophone (other than as a solo instrument), are quite unusual but not unknown.

I agree that it depend on what you mean by "orchestra." But the question was "Name a musical instrument your[sic] will neverfind in a orchestra?" I don't know of any symphony orchestra today which includes a bass guitar, but there is no reason a composer could not add a bass guitar or any other instrument to the instrumentation.
For example, Leonard Bernstein's Mass contains a kazoo ensemble.

I don't know if you posted this answer as a joke, but it is absolutely wrong. Did you ever hear Ravel's Bolero?
How about Rhapsody in Blue?
The instrumentation for West Side Story contains Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, and Bass Saxophone.
And we should define exactly what we mean by an "orchestra." There are groups which call themselves "kazoo orchestras." But even if we could agree on a definition of a "standard" orchestra, there is no reason composers could not add kazoos, jugs, washboards, electric guitars, etc. to their instrumentation. Leonard Bernstein's Mass uses a kazoo ensemble.
You won't find cornets, or tenor horns in an orchestra. They use trumpets and French horns instead.

Name something an orchestra conductor needs to do his job?
To become an orchestra musician, you must first play an orchestral instrument and be commited to it. Being in an orchestra is hard work and if you are not commited, it won't be a very enjoyable experience. Then you have to find an orchestra. If you are still in school, your school might have an orchestra program. If not, there might be a local youth orchestra. Most orchestras have an audition process to select the musicians, so make sure you have the appropriate repertoire prepared. If you are an adult and have had orchestral playing experience in your youth, you might want to try audition for a professional orchestra. The chances of getting into a professional orchestra are much slimmer than a youth orchestra especially if you are a woodwind/brass/percussion player. Only audition for a professional orchestra if you are seriously commited to your instrument. If you are an adult and have had little/no orchestral playing experience or you don't have the commitment/time to be in a professional orchestra, try find a community orchestra for adults. Community orchestras provide an opportunity for adults who never got to play in orchestras a lot. Generally, community orchestras don't have an audition process and you can just sign up.

Are electric guitars played in orchestras?
not officially. i play the bass guitar in my local wind orchestra, but that's only because they don't have a tuba player, and they needed someone who played a bass instrument. i think it was pink floys who did a thing where they combined their instruments into an orchestra for one of their albums :) search it on youtube :). but i don't think youll find an official orchestra with a guitar or bass guitar in it :)
