Game Tester

[Micah]

This kind of job is really getting popular. With so many games coming out everyday, the need for game testers are also increasing. What skills should we possess for us to be eligible for this job?

I'm not sure but if you find out where to get a job doing this you let me know and we'll both work there, OK? I'd love to be a game tester and let the companies know what I think of their games. I love puzzle games!

If you're talking about video games, I think they usually hire experienced gamers for that kind of thing, and would advertise in gamer magazines and the like.

I would love to have a job like that too. I heard if you go to the game companies website you can check out the job postings but I would imagine those are few and far between. I love puzzle games too!

You do not need special education to be a game tester other wise called a QA. You need to be over 18, have a high school diploma, and you need to understand how to find and recognize bugs. It means you don't just play the game you investigate every little thing and try to find all kinds of bugs. Also this sort of job is contract work so you do not get any benefits. My friend is the QA director for the sims games (wont say what platform) and he has a master's degree in business management.
