If you wish to be a professional game tester and never have to spend several years at college and without having some sort of formal training, then adhere to these 3 easy steps.
1. Become a Slave: It might stink to high heaven, but the simplest way to get into the gaming world, as well as to acquire those first couple of references, is by offering your game testing abilities at no cost.
That concept may perhaps make you cringe in disgust, but it's actually a far better choice to being rejected again & again & again due to lousy references and zero game testing experience. If it helps, just look at it as a necessary evil to getting one of the best jobs a lifelong gamer can EVER ask for.
2. Befriend Everyone: The most effective tool a paid video games tester can have is a reliable network of contacts. More contacts means more strings to pull anytime you happen to be hunting for your next game testing job.
As you may have undoubtedly guessed, going around and expecting strange individuals to be your "friend" is a wee-bit creepy, no matter how nice you may seem. That being said, just try to be friendly and courteous to every person you have dealings with. Once individuals like you or get a positive vibe from you, they tend to be more likely to give you a hand if you need it. This is how reliable contact networks are created and preserved. There's no reason why you can't survive as a professional videogame tester without a good list of contacts -- it's just much easier having them.
3. Never Quit Applying: There are lots of different excellent gaming developers nowadays, meaning you're not limited with the amount of places to apply. If they create, distribute, regulate, or have anything at all to do with the development of game titles, you definitely must get in touch with them and apply for a beta-game tester position.
It is fine if a developer turns you down, as not each and every game company is looking for beta testers. Just forget about the rejection -- after all, it is not personal, it's business -- and move forward to other game companies. The more applications and resumes you turn in, the greater your chances are of obtaining a professional video game tester job.
