5 Reasons You Cannot Be A Video Games Tester!
Professional game testing isn't really that difficult. In fact, you may even go as far as to say it's an easy job that doesn't require excessive effort. All you've got to do is turn the game on, play through it, jot down the game's problems, and then collect a paycheck after you are all done. Seriously, does this sound like a hard job to you? I'll make an educated guess and answer for you, NO!
5 Motives You'll Be Denied for Video Game Tester Jobs...
- You don't have at least 5 years of video game experience. To be honest, you don't have to be considered a gaming guru that has mastered each and every video game on the market. However, you do have to have basic knowledge of the video gaming industry and how game creation works. The more experience and knowledge you've got, the better off you'll be with regards to finding video game tester jobs.
- You aren't a minimum of 18 years old. Some game companies have been able to hire (with restrictions) gamers who are 16 years of age. Then again, this is generally a rare occurrence in the industry of expert video game testing.
- You do not possess a next-gen system and/or a high-end gaming rig (PC). Having both is better, but one or the other should do. If you're not current with the latest gaming technology, you honestly don't stand a chance.
- You do not possess a video game testing resume. No resume, no consideration of any sort, period. Being a game tester means doing actual work that MUST BE taken seriously. It is not a hobby you do for fun on Saturday -- it's a REAL job.
- You've poor grammar & writing skills. Video game testers submit many reports & forms that are used by video game programmers to repair & improve games. If the reports aren't competently detailed and easily comprehended, the developers can't do their job. If a programmer is not able to do his job, it ordinarily means the tester has failed to do his.
If the 5 things in the list above aren't a problem for you, then you're indeed a prospect for professional video game testing. All that's remaining for you to do is to begin searching for game testing jobs in your area -- and if you know where to search, then it's not going to take you more than a week or two!
