When looking for video game testing jobs, you have two main options.
And I will talk to you about both of them in this article but before I
start that I would like to inform you of something that you might not
have understood.
When you are a game tester, you have to know what you are doing
because the big guns such as Sony, Microsoft and even Ubisoft need
people that know about video games and the consoles. It can be very
hard if you do not like to play video games as a passion. You have to
be able to communicate properly with the companies to tell them if
there are defects and bugs in the game you are testing. This is
usually not something to worry about because most people know how to
talk, write and love to play video games. Now for the two ways
you can apply to be a game tester are: #1- If you know someone
on the gaming industry, he or she can bring you in the company so that
you can start testing games. This option is very rare but does happen
to some people. #2- Get a membership at video game testing
website because they know the companies and from them you can apply to
test games. Most of the times you are accepted and you start earning
money. But you have to watch out for fake and scam membership websites
because those will take your money and leave without telling you
anything.
As you can see, the second option is much better but like I said, be
careful because the last thing you want to do is land on a site that
does not know any gaming company!
