Powerful Technique 1: Know where to look
If you are looking for fish, where do you go? The lake! It's the same
with game tester jobs: visit the game developers websites frequently.
Make a list of all the game developers you know, and check their
websites religiously. As soon as you see a job opening apply right
away. Get your name in first and stand out favorably.
Here is a quick list of some game developers:

Powerful Technique 2: Find out who is in charge of hiring
People love their name. You need to find out who is in charge of
hiring the game testers and get their name! Write or call them (making
sure you spell or pronounce their name correctly) and let them know
you are a serious gamer and interested in testing.
You want to build a relationship, which takes time. Odds are your best
friend didn't become your best friend over night. It's the same with
getting beta tester jobs. You might not get hired the first time you
call them, but if you keep advancing the relationship and selling
yourself IT WILL HAPPEN.
Making a living out of game testing is awesome. But the reason most
people don't make it is that they give up. Be willing to go the extra
mile and persist a little! It will be well worth the effort. Besides,
a highly paid beta tester can make up to $120 an hour!
Powerful Technique 3: Offer To Work For Free
If you are serious about getting your first beta tester job (key word
being FIRST) then offer to work for free. Tell them you are so serious
about becoming a video game tester that you will work your first
assignment for free.
This will get your foot favorably in the door. Plus this will put a
star on your resume, and you will start building your gaming industry
network. That last point is key, because its not what you know its who
you know.
Powerful Technique 4: Stand Out Favorably
Meaning you should do something that really anchors your name in their
head. For example: you could send them a little plastic sword and a
note that reads "are your weapons doing the damage they should? Call
me at ...". That would stand out above the crowd and they will
remember you for that! Be creative.
Now you know 4 powerful techniques to finding and getting your first
beta tester job. Being a paid video game tester is great, but you have
to work at it to make it happen. Never give up!
