Video Game Tester Needed


You know, with the economy at it's current state you'd think game testing jobs are out of the question. Well not in my case. A few months ago the company I was working for let go of almost the whole video game testing department.

I never thought I would find another job like that again. But you know what, I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily. So i kept searching for other ways to get game testing jobs besides going out to the companies and asking them if they're hiring.

Then, someone told me something that just made me feel so stupid for wasting my time.

Video game companies do most of their hiring through freelance services. I wish i had known about these game testing web sites before. I bet i could have made a lot more money than i was making before.

Most of these web sites are just for show though. I signed up for a few of them and i found out the ones that ask less from you are the ones that help you out the most.

Some of these freelance web sites can really screw you over though. We all know how it is to be looking for a job out of desperation. You make irrational decisions and in the end all you have is regret.

Finding a video game tester job can be difficult even if you're a veteran game tester. But no one should have to settle for a job that is paying $8/hour to play a game excessively for 8 hours in a day. Find out how you can make $10-$20/hour on your first day as a video game at my lens.
