Well when i actually went for the interview i had to play a fully released game and all i did was go around hitting walls, talking to people from all angles... pretty much everything for 2 hours and it was quite fun xD.

Problem is if i end up testing an RTS im gonna hate it >_>

Also its Jicaa not Jicca :( so many people do that.

Full-time student - finishing this year - part time Hospital work in Arrowe Park - only catering, nothing glamerous.
I went to a game programming office for my work experience. Sat on my bum playing games for the day as they forgot about me. Back in the day I was 14 and playstation two was just about to come out. Was still in awe of their blue ps1 developer editions lol. Cost about 2 grand each they said.

Sowwy Jicaa. I have never tested but i have heard a lot about testing because of my course in uni being computer games orientated and apparently it gets extremely tedious. However if you get yourself well known you can be paid big bucks.

you talk so much crap making cat5/6 cables is the most boring job in the world, you sit there for hours cutting up cables wiring on the ethernet heads for one cable, then you need to wire up cables to the hub panels, measuring each one to make sure its the right length.

worst job in the world
