Name- Ryan Basilone

Date- 911/08

Education- Liberty High School

Address- 1218 West Lehigh Street Apt 3

City- Bethlehem

State- Pennsylvania

Age- 16


Job in mind- I'd like to get a job in the video game industry as a partime QA tester from home, also known as an Alpha/Beta tester.

Goals- I want to get a job as a video game tester from home. I do need to be paid, but a small amount will do. For starters, I only need 5 to 7 dollars an hour for the rest of my career if I'm hired. I want to get a chance to gain knowledge in my favorite industry. It is a good choice to hire me If you want someone who can produce more results in a lesser amount of time and money than a full time tester demanding more and more money and doesn't care if he's bleeding the company dry .

Experience- l have a lot of experience in testing games. I've only really tested one game called crunch time. It was a very long game that should be shortened. As far as playing games go, I'm the best. After I play the game, I have an opinion on how it could be fixed so, I count that as experience because i'm just like a critic. It really isn't about the gamerscore to me even though I know I can get all the acheivements in the games I play. I just want to play the game, write a report about it and get paid rather than being called lazy and a peice of garbage for playing games in the first place. It's really not about the money either. I would enjoy playing upcoming titles for the 360. Don't worry, I can keep a secret about the games. I forgot to mention that I've played almost every FPS title there is on Nintendo 64 and my 360. Call of Duty is my favorite FPS. Honestly, I think that the next COD should be in Vietnam or the future.


Skills

Better than average hand/eye coordination.
Familiar with most consoles including computers. I am also familiar with programs such as MS Word and Excel. As of now I only have MS Word.
I am self motivated and have a strong work ethic.
Hardcore gamer not looking for an easy at home job.
I Can work with a team but I can do better independantly.
I can speak and/or write the English language fluently.
Can follow directions very well that are written and/or spoken.
Passion for online gaming.
I play games for 70 hours a week or more.


Other info- The only reason I want an at home job is because I don't live near any video game companies. Most companies don't respond back or, tell me there is no such thing as an at-home-tester. I know this can't be true so I can't give up. The best times to contact me are from 3:30 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. on weekdays. On the weekends you can contact me at any hour. If you need to contact me at any day of the week, my phone number is 610-807-9991. If you need my Email address It's stubbz316@live.com.

Please at least Email me back if I don't get the job.

If you want a job as a Game Reviewer/Tester then you have to be able to show some actual experience. Right now everyone at this site is as qualified as you are. You need to start Reviewing all the New Games you can get your hands on. If your actually good at it then I'm sure I know of a site or 2 that will post them. And don't forget to take some screenshots :-)

a couple of years back I was a reviewer and believe me it's not what you think it is. People always think they get to play ace titles before everyone else but sad matter of fact is you spend 99% of your time playing shitty crap in binary form.
If you think as a reviewer/tester you get only to play CoD, DemiGod and the next Splinter Cell game you are very VERY mistaken. :D

Stay in school, go to university, do computer science, get your degree and then join a games developer instead! Stay away from EA though, bastards.
