I got the number to the place off a friend of a friend. Had a telephone interview and then I started work the following weekend.
GCSE English and an ability to play games.
We receive a checklist of things that should be accomplished in the game. When we are successful we tick the box. If a bug occurs in the game we fill in a bug form and try to reproduce it at least 10 times.
What was your best day at work?
We spent the entire day playing Battlefield over xbox live. 12 people, 6 man teams in the same room. It was a hell of a lot of fun.
What was your worst day at work?
Not exactly a worst day, but my friends started not to work as often as I did and the job got boring.
Are there any perks to your job?
Free soft drinks.
What do you like about your job?
You get to play games all day. The versions we tested were beta versions which technically means there’s hardly any bugs in a game when we play it.
What don’t you like about your job?
Work was infrequent.
Personal Comments
Language testers got paid 1/3 more than English only testers. Also they got more work because they could speak English as well as another language.
Would you recommend this job to someone else?:
Yes
