[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 5353127, member: 1154"] With the caveat that I only did it for about 3 months (they laid off 2/3 of the QA testers 3 days before Christmas without warning, and shut the local studio down a couple weeks later), I have to disagree there. Don't get any illusions that it's all fun all the time. It's a job, plain and simple, but as far as jobs go it's pretty nice. That said, there are reasons to avoid it. They work you hard, which may be good or bad depending. Benefits are all but non-existent, and you usually have at least a 60-hour work week. You do get time and a half for the overtime, though, so it's not bad money for a recent graduate... As far as how to get the job? Just put in an application. It's more an issue of timing and location. You don't need any real skills, you just need to live in the right area and have an application in their files when they decide to start looking for more people. [/QUOTE]
