| Professional Video Game Testing - Follow These 3 Steps To Get Started | In order to be a professional game tester without going to college not to mention without having some sort of formal training, then adhere to these 3 steps.
1. Be a Slave: It seriously stinks to high heaven, but the best way to get your foot "in the door" of the industry, as well as to get those first few work references, is by offering your game testing abilities at no cost.
That idea might make you cringe, nonetheless, it's actually a much better alternative to being rejected over & over & over on account of your lousy references and very little, if none at all, game testing experience. If it helps, just look at it as a necessary evil to getting one of the best jobs a gamer could EVER want.
2. Make Everybody a Friend: The best weapon a aspiring young video games tester can possess is a strong network of contacts. More contacts means more strings to pull whenever you are searching for another game testing job.
As you may have undoubtedly guessed, going around and asking strange people to be your "friend" is a little creepy, no matter how nice you may seem. Having said that, just be friendly and polite to anyone you have dealings with. Whenever people like you or perhaps just get a positive vibe from you, they tend to be more likely to assist you if you need it. This is how reliable contact networks are built and maintained. There isn't any reason why you can't survive as a skilled beta-game tester without a good list of contacts -- it's just easier WITH them than without.
3. Never Quit Applying: There are a wide array of outstanding game developers nowadays, meaning you're not in short supply of places to apply. If they create, distribute, manage, or are involved in any way with the development of game titles, you absolutely have to get in touch with them and apply for a paid game tester position.
It's okay when a developer rejects you, as not each and every game company is in need of game testers. Just shrug off the rejection -- after all, it's not personal, it's only business -- and move forward to other game companies. The more applications and resumes you send in, the greater your chances are of landing a paid video game tester job.
