Video Game Tester Could Be The Coolest Job You Ever Have

By Pete Wotton

To get a job as a video game tester means you can do what millions of other hard working people around the world will never have the chance to do, and thats being able to do a job you love doing!

There certainly isn't many jobs out there that can offer such rewards. A pro footballer or golfer would be a great job, but obviously these professions are beyond most of us.

The world of video games is a multi-billion dollar business and one of the largest industries in the world. That is why countries like the US the UK, China, Japan and several others employ a small army of video game testers.

There is an astonishing amount of video games being developed to handle the increasing demand. With so many different game companies making them, there is an abundance of video game testing jobs available that need qualified, motivated people to fill.

The demand for video game testing jobs is obviously very high and game companies can afford to pick and choose the best applicants for the job.

Some companies will ask for professional and related qualifications. This is really to cut down on the vast majority of applicants so that they dont have so many people to interview.

Unfortunately thats where the majority of people give up or look elsewhere for video game tester jobs. This is a mistake however and is something that you should in fact use to your advantage.

You Can Become A Video Game Tester And Not Have Any Qualifications

If a big game developer advertises a game tester job that you really would love, then you should still go for it, regardless of the qualifications stipulations.

If you have done your homework and have a good resume already written, then I suggest you go ahead with your application. That way your profile will get in front of someone in the company and be read. And that is the hardest part of the process complete.

You will be looked upon much more favorably than most of your fellow candidates who have the required qualifications if you demonstrate desire and professionalism in wanting to become a video game tester.

To become a video game tester you have to be pro-active and put yourself forward. In showing such initiative you may well impress your potential employer enough to give you the job.

Dream jobs like these do not come along every day of the week and they're not simply going to fall into your lap. But if you are prepared to work hard and have the right attitude, there is absolutely no reason why you cant make it as a video game tester.

Trust me, it's definitely worth the effort when you see the faces of your friends and tell them you are a professional video game tester!
