    Default Games Tester / Beta Tester [+REP]

    I was wondering how do you get into the field of Games Testing Beta Testing. I havn't chosing media in my GCSE options, as it is a job I would like to have. But not getting my hopes up, and goign towards the Buisness area.

    How would I go about trying to get a job?/ Getting work experience in the field

    Passion for games
    Excellent team work skills
    Basic knowledge in web technologies (HTML, XML)
    Basic hardware knowledge
    Attention to detail

    Have knowledge of the kind of games the company produce.
    I would take analytical courses when you get to college and then make a CV if you don't want to go to university after college.

    Don't base your GCSE options on wanting to be a games tester. Its not a job you should be aiming for and more of a fall back, albeit a entertaining one. Its quite low paying and something like retail (working in a shop) pays similar if not more. Try and go for something else in gaming (coding, graphic designer, etc.) if that is an area you'd like to be in.

    Thanks I'm not basing my GCSE on games designing i went for Geography and IT. The Games Tester will be a job for entertainment like part time if that can happen.

    Maybe if you looked into the gaming industry and showed how passion it you are about gaming, creativity, hard work and a good team skills/building you are, they could give you a shot at having a go. If you don't succeed at first there's always next time.

    Maybe if you just did it for a trial? See if you like it or not, there's no wrong in just trying.

    Games testers have a meager wage and it's very hard to get into given how appealing it is to people.

    As far as I'm aware, game testing isn't easy because you have to write reports so I'm guessing your english has to be good which doesn't look it based on what you wrote.
