Microsoft Video Game Tester Jobs

Microsoft is one of the biggest manufacturers of video games, from PC games, online, as well as games for many different gaming platforms. They are probably one of the oldest companies as well. So how do they test their new products? They use actual gamers to go through each of their games, well before the release date, to work out all the bugs and kinks. People who have these game tester jobs can make a substantial living, doing what they like to do best.

The biggest problems with Microsoft game tester jobs is there is no real advertising for positions. You can’t just open up the paper or the online classifieds and see “Microsoft Game Testers Wanted”. You can look on the internet, but the results can be a little confusing as well as overwhelming. The best way to go is through one of the game tester listing sites like Become A Video Game Tester. While there may be a small fee associated with their services, they offer a comprehensive listing of what companies are offering jobs, as well as tips and helpful information on getting these positions.

    Hi my name is Collin Fagan. I’ve looked all over the Internet to try and apply to become a video game tester for any company that will take me. I am sixteen years old with twelve years of social gaming under my belt. Through which I have found at least thirty glitches in the forty-five games I have owned that only twelve where new releases when I had bought them. I believe I would be a great asset to your company. I absolutely love video games and plan on becoming a designer after college.

    Sincerely,

    Collin C. Fagan

    Hello, my name is Jimmie. I have been a gamer since I was three years of age and am now 17, soon to be 18 in 4 months. I play games on a daily basis and actually TRY to find glitches just for the fun of it, so would getting paid for it be much different? I mean if you hired me I could tell you the little glitches most testers and programmers don’t find out until the release of the game which causes more money to fix in an update. I’ve played every type of game there is and have owned almost every type of game console there ever was, so I know what games are good and aren’t and also their target audience. Most of my friends also play games so I learn about most people’s opinions on the games even BEFORE they are released.
