If you've felt frustrated trying to get a video game testing job due to lack of experience or just not knowing the right ways to apply, you've hit a common roadblock for many prospective testers. Some of the most difficult hurdles to overcome when trying to find Xbox 360 video game tester jobs are empty resumes, lack of knowledge as to which places to apply, and lack of contacts in the industry.
There are actually only 3 things you need to know if you want to land a job as a video game tester even if your experience level is zero. This is the only way you'll be able to get paid for playing games at home.
1. Exactly how and where to apply
Without knowing anyone in the game industry who actually works at a gaming company such as Activision or Sony, then you will not have any clues about what companies are hiring game testers. The real way to deal with this problem is by talking to a person who actually has insider information.
You can find this information online - if you know what secret members' forums there are for game testers, and how to get into them.
2. Which game companies to avoid
It happens that certain companies don't pay much, aren't worth trying to get into because of competition, or just don't have good benefits for home testers. Applying to these companies is just going to waste the precious hours you could be spending playing games at home for companies who WILL pay you.
3. What one single piece of information that must be put on a resume if you want to get hired - even with zero experience
Have you wondered how some folks can say they've gotten into competitive game testing jobs even with no experience with game tester jobs whatsoever? Either they've gotten lucky or they know this one thing that must go on a resume, because all game companies are looking for it.
Tip: it isn't your work history, your knowledge of video games thus far, or even your age.
