Employers
Video game testers are employed by computer and video game manufacturers, and no two gaming companies are organized in the same way. Opportunities are best in large cities and suburbs where business and industry are active. Many testers work for video game manufacturers, a cluster of which are located in California, Texas, Washington, New York, and Massachusetts.
Starting Out
Positions in the field of video game testing can be obtained several different ways. Many universities and colleges host computer job fairs on campus throughout the year that include representatives from hardware and software companies. Internships and summer jobs with such corporations are always beneficial and provide experience that will give you the edge over your competition. General computer job fairs are also held throughout the year in larger cities. Job opportunities and industry information can also be found through online employment agencies and trade associations.
