Dear Mr. / Ms.:[Name]

I am a frequent forum beta tester for future releases of video games. In this manner, I have been improving my skills at finding and reporting bugs and glitches with as much detail as possible for resolving in-game issues.

I would like to further my career in the video game industry and I am officially applying for a job as a game tester.

I would like to secure an on-site position so that I may be acquainted with the inner workings of production from initial conception to product release in the market.

Apart from playing video games and spotting errors, I am capable of drafting and submitting an error report as required, which programmers with the specific details that may have caused the glitch.

I can present a report in both written and verbal format, which gives the specific circumstances to the program department on what has caused the problem in-game. I am also able to include the expected and all the necessary steps needed for replicating the error themselves.

In terms of technical know-how, I am very much familiar and well versed with the latest gaming systems and software. Also included in my repertoire is a familiarity to a wide range of gaming systems and consoles.

I feel that this would be useful for any game testing company looking for anyone with troubleshooting skills.

I would like to add that I fully understand the important of video game testing in terms of finding and repairing bugs and glitches before the release of a new game.

I am aware that negative reviews and poor word of mouth can effect the success of game sales. I would like to do my part in making sure that poor market release numbers are prevented and help in good sales figures for upcoming games.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my credentials and answer any questions you might have in a personal interview.

Sincerely,
[Name]

How to Become a Game Tester

So hopefully you checked out the videos on Youtube. If you didn't, check them out here "How to Become a Game Tester". How if you did watch the videos over on Youtube then you must be here to find out how you can get more exclusive training on how to become a game tester.


I hope that you like the videos, like I pointed out before in the videos I personally never have been a game tester. But when I went out to research how to do so, I still no longer have any interest in becoming a game tester. Though after doing all that research I couldn't just let the information go to waste. So I decided to share it.

I am about 90% sure what I told you is accurate and should help anyone who would like to become a game tester. Just follow what I told you in the "How to become a game tester" videos. First create a resume, second create a cover letter, and then their find the companies you'd like to work for and apply. It's that simple.

The process for getting a job as a game tester is the same as any other job you would apply for. Though game producers don't advertise there job openings because they know that gamers will come to them. So you'll want to be one of those gamers. So once again I hope you found the videos helpful and if you would like more exclusive training.
