The console you use for being a video game tester is vital to your success. Your not going to look for a game testing job for a pc when you don't own one.

So in order to to better succeed in this field, here is a one step process to help you find your right company:

1. Finding your console

Before you start applying to 50 different jobs, you should first consider this first step, finding your console. The company isn't going to hire you if you don't know much about the console the company uses. Why should a company hire a person who specializes in the wii when they sell games for the xbox?

So the first step is to find out what console you specialize in and apply for jobs that use that console. Be specialize, I mean, you know the tricks of the trades and you know how to adapt to the games easily without learning new buttons. This console is usually the console that you play most often.

If your the gamer that knows everything about every console, then please, apply to everything that you think you can understand, but if your not this all knowing gamer, then I suggest you focus on the console you know the best.

That's it. It's as simple as that. You might say, that's way to simple. But this career is just that simple. Find your console and apply to the company that uses that console. It's common sense, but most people just skip this step and apply to different companies that use console's that they don't specialize in just because of the money they pay. You need experience in order to get paid!
