There are two ways to do it, and I will explain the benefits for both and how to do it.

How to get your first job as a video game tester

• The first and most popular way that people use to get their first job as a video game tester is signing up for a program. Some do say that they are a scam. This is rarely true. If the website is on the first page of google results, than don't worry, it's legit. Signing up for a program is simple, you just sign up, test the video game they give you, and you'll get a job as a video game tester. It's easy to do and it doesn't take much time. They have already laid down the path that you need to walk, you just need to walk it and they'll show you how to do it. Most programs actually do this, so don't be afraid!
• The second way that people get their first job as a video game tester is more like the guerilla method, or the no money method. This way takes really long, I'm not kidding, most likely months to years where you won't see a single penny. Although it takes really long, you get to build a much more reputable reputation than the people that choose to just sign up. All you do is just get into public beta games, test other video games, and basically brand yourself. This can take over a year to accomplish and become really popular. When you do though, you'll know what you're talking about. You'll start getting hired by tons of companies that pay tons of money!

It's up to you to decide which path you want to take. So get out there, and begin your video game testing career today!
