3 Simple Steps And You Can Be A Video Game Tester


Should you wish to be a professionally paid game tester without having to spend several years at college not to mention without getting any sort of official training, then just follow these three steps.

1. Slave Yourself Out: It really stinks to high heaven, but the quickest way to get your foot "in the door" of the industry, as well as to acquire those first few references, is to offer your game beta testing skills at no cost.

That notion might make you cringe in disgust, but it's actually a much better option to getting turned down again & again & again due to weak references and virtually ZERO game testing experience. If it helps, just look at it as a necessary evil for you to get one of the best jobs a lifelong gamer can EVER ask for.

2. Befriend Everyone: The very best weapon a pro game tester can possess happens to be a solid network of contacts. More contacts means more strings to pull whenever you're looking for your next game testing job.

As you will have undoubtedly guessed, running around and expecting people you've never met to be your "pal" is a little creepy, regardless of how nice you may appear. That said, just try to be courteous & friendly to anyone you have dealings with. Whenever people like you or get a good vibe from you, they are much more likely to help you out when you need it. This is the way dependable contact networks are created and preserved. There isn't any reason why you can't survive as a skilled game tester without good contacts -- it's just easier having them.

3. Keep Searching, Keep Applying: There's lots of different exceptional gaming developers in existence, meaning you are in no short supply of places you can apply to. If they create, program, regulate, or are involved in any way with the production of games, you positively must get in touch with them and apply for a beta-game tester job.

It's okay if a developer turns you away, seeing that not every developer is looking for beta game tester. Just forget about the rejection and move forward to other video game developers. The more applications and resumes you turn in, the higher your chances are of getting a paid video game tester job.
