Anybody here have had any experience on game testing for a videogame company? I''m up for an interview with EA for a full-timer and need to know what kind of questions they might throw at me. Thanks.

I did it for a while. They will probably ask you to list the games you''ve played, they''ll want 1 or 2 writing samples, of which they will provide the topic. They will ask normal interview questions (look up preparing for an interview.)

They will probably ask if you have ever seen bugs in games, make sure you at least have a good idea of what a bug is, (hint: it''s anything that''s not right.) This is a big one, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT TESTERS DO!!!! They do not play video games all day, if you say that you will probably not get the job, so read up on the subject I suggest the links at the IGDA website in my signature, the mary-margaret link has great tips and links.

Most importantly, treat it like any other interview, relax, act professionally, and be prepared.
