Where can a 12 year old boy get a job as a game tester?

Answer 1

You can't. 14 years old is too young to work, and game testers are usually employed by the licenser.

New Answer Headline14-year-olds can find work, though it depends on what state you live in. In some, it is illegal to work under the age of fifteen. Though even if you can work, I seriously doubt you will be able to get a job as a game tester

Answer 2

For the majority of Publishers they won't look at you until you are 18. You need to sign what is called an NDA(Non-Disclosure Agreement) and you need to be an adult to do that.

Minor work laws prohibit anyone under 14 for sure.

You can start getting some experience and education in Video game testing earlier. See the program at PowerUpGames.com

Answer 3

You can find game tester jobs online at websites such as Indeed and Career Builder. You can also find tips on how to become a game tester at websites such as Tech and Volt Workforce Solutions.

Answer 4

It all depends on where you live, and what your level of expertise is in certain areas.

In some places the legal age requirement is 16, and others it's 18, and some are in the middle. This number all depends on where you live.

Now, to get hired as a video game tester they want you to have some level of experience with not only just "gaming," but also to have a degree of some sorts in programming (Or at least a fair amount of experience).

Keep in mind that being a video game tester is not an easy job, and it can tend to get very monotonous. You may have to play a certain portion of a game over 200 times, taking notes every time. And not to mention the version of the game you will be playing may be extremely unbalanced, and it will detract from the fun of playing actual Video Games.

If you are serious about wanting to become a video game tester my recommendation is to get a degree in Computer Programming, and have a dire passion for video games, and be over 18. If you meet all those prerequisites, you are eligible to become a video game tester. Of course, you still have to get hired.

Answer 5

You can't. I believe it's illegal to work at 12 period. And game testers usually only look for people 18+.
