admin answers:
Check the game vendor websites and their career/job links. You can also check general career websites (Monster, CareerBuilder, etc…).
As an example, here are requirements for a Blizzard position:
Position: Night Shift Game Tester
Requirements
* Passion for games
* High level of motivation
* Willingness to work long and odd hours
* Ability to follow directions
* Good communication skills (both oral and written)
* Strong work ethic
Just go over the requirements and make sure you meet or exceed them. You may also need to relocate since some vendors will require you to be local to their development team.
** Edit **
Adding a few company websites and their career links.

Where to find an at home paid game testing job?
I want to this at home. I would like to get paid. I dont want any crap that i have to pay for information. Anyone know? Or if you are a game tester. HOw did you become one?
admin answers:
You won’t get paid for testing at home mate.
Like the recent Metal Gear Solid 4: Online Beta test, they let you play the game early so that you can test for bugs.
Plus, testing is usually done in controlled conditions to stop you from leaking information about the game. Imagine someone being given a copy of GTA: IV to play 6 months before anyone else. They wouldn’t hesitate to contact people!
It’s a VERY complicated job my man, sorry if this isn’t what you wanted to hear, but it’s true.
Also, if you do apply to a company like Codemasters or EA for example, you would just play the same BIT of a level, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and report any bugs so that they can be fixed. You don’t just play a game from start to finish and then get a new one.
As for applying to become a tester? If you are sure it’s what you want to do, then contact Sony, and email a few developers.
Hope I helped!

admin answers:
I’m not totally sure on how you become a game tester. But, I have heard that some game testers become game testers by becoming really good and famous playing video games.The people who play games 24/7 and get super high scores and play enter a lot of game tournaments and win get the chance of doing stuff like that.
Here I did a search adn this might help. I hope it does!

Carol asks…
How can you find a legitimate job as a game tester.?
My son is an avid player and pretty good if I can go on what his friends say. Any ideas would be appreciated. Online searches have only turned out sites that want you to pay to play, if you get my meaning. How do I find legitimate sites and do you need formal training to be considered?
admin answers:
You have to search for game producing companies like EA. They produce a vast array of games. Look at what your kid plays waho makes it etc.
Before you put a down payment on the boat and plan your new den, you should know testers normally only make min. Wage plus bonuses for some but if you get him into programing he will be a candidate for promotion.
Good luck
