To be able to be a paid game tester without attending college and without having some sort of professional training, then follow these three simple steps.
1. Become the Slave: It may stink to high heaven, but the easiest strategy to get into the game industry, not to mention to acquire those first few references, is by offering your game beta testing abilities free of charge.
This suggestion may perhaps make you spit in disgust, yet it is a more practical choice to being turned down again and again and again just because of lousy references and zero game testing experience. Consider it as a necessary evil for you to get one of the most "awesomest" jobs that a life long gamer could want.
2. Be a Buddy to One and All: The most effective weapon a professional video games tester can have happens to be a reliable network of contacts. More contacts means more open opportunities each time you happen to be looking for your next game testing job.
As you will have undoubtedly guessed, running about and expecting strange people to be your "pal" is a little creepy, no matter how nice you might appear. That being said, just be friendly and courteous to anyone you speak to. Once people like you or even get a positive vibe from you, they are far more likely to give you a hand when you need it. This is the way dependable contact networks are created and maintained. There is no reason why you can't survive as a qualified beta-game tester without good connections -- it is just much easier WITH them than without.
3. Keep Looking, Keep Applying: There's a lot of excellent video game developers nowadays, meaning you are not limited with the amount of places to apply. If they produce, program, regulate, or have anything to do with the development of video games, you most certainly must contact them and apply for a game testing job.
It is alright if a developer turns you down, seeing that not each and every developer is hunting for new testers. Just forget about the rejection -- after all, it isn't personal, it's business -- and move forward to other video game companies. The more applications and resumes you submit, the higher your chances are of obtaining a paid video game tester job.
