How To Become A Video Game Tester
February 6, 2009Now that you all know what a video game tester is, it is time to start practicing what i’ve been preaching! You need to learn how to become a video game tester. It is actually fairly easy to get into the business. Much easier than it would be to go out and apply for jobs at hundreds of different places without even knowing if you will ever get the job. Then after you finally do get a call back, you still are going to have to go through tedious interviews without any gaurantees. No job has gaurentees of course and this is no different. If you expect to not put in any time or effort, do not expect to get any jobs it is that simple. The people tha play the most games, find the most bugs, and give the most detailed reports are going to make the most money. It is up to you how much money you make in this business. You can be one of the 90 or so percent that slack off and quit, or you can be part of that last 10 that are getting all of the paychecks.
My suggestion for beginners is to sign up for a company that is going to help you out. The reason for this is that you are going to have to apply to hundreds of different companies and tell them who you are. Then you are going to have to explain to them that you would like to test their video games. This is all a big waste of time and in this business time is money. I would say that it would take you 20 or so hours to sign up for all of these. So if you work on it five hours a week, it would take you a whole month just to get setup for the same thing that certain companies could setup for you the moment you sign up. Now you are still going to want to email some of these companies, but all of the hard work will already be done for you. A ligit company that i found was Elite Game Tester. Most are scams, but this one really is not so check it out. Just click here if you know that this is the right job for you! Now you know the basics of how to become a video game tester.
