Applying for a Games Tester position

[Shicky]

Was just wondering if anyone has done this before?

Noticed it for a game i've been looking forward to somewhat and was considering applying. Do they want me to send off a proper CV or just a light spiel about why i would like to be part of the team etc etc? Also is this position paid? They advertise it like it would be, dont worry i realise it would be peanuts and dont intend on making a career from it. Would be cool to help shape a new game, even in a very minimal way.

well i think it'd be worth a try at least, going into the games industry is a possibility to me so i figure any step on the ladder before i complete my degree is a bonus, however minor. The position applys for those who speak english and is limited to the UK only so i assume its not a fixed position as it were and is dealt with online. So does anybody know about applying, is it looking for CV style applications or a general blurb about why they should choose you? I have no beef with crappy bug testing, i've fallen foul to them before and the chance to fix them is mildly better than falling through random holes in the floor.

Hey mate glad to hear from a games tester! Can you tell me just how crumby the wages are? Like an example of a complete newstart at your company. Also what kind of hours are u expected to work?
