My Cover Letter

Job Description:Game testing, a subset of game development, is a software testing process for quality control of video games. The primary function of game testing is the discovery and documentation of software defects (aka bugs). Interactive entertainment software testing is a highly technical field requiring computing expertise, analytic competence, critical evaluation skills, and endurance. In recent years the field of game testing has come under fire for being excessively strenuous and unrewarding, both financially and emotionally


Here is my cover letter for the application to be a games tester.
Job Role:Games Tester
Company: Bethesda Studios

Applicant: Corey Rodgers

I am applying for this job as I believe that I will be a definite positive addition to the testing team to thaw out all glitches and bugs within the games you develop. I have been a passionate  gamer for over 12 years and I think that the bugs and glitches in games can ruin the enjoyable gaming experience we all know and love, especially the on-line glitches. By employing me, I have the skills to comprehensively assess the development and gameplay of any game I may be asked to test. I work well in a team and also under my own initiative so any role I may be asked to undertake, I will be able to complete to the highest degree possible. I hope you take into consideration my burning desire to work in the gaming industry and my strong work ethic. My main aim is to make sure that the audience have an enjoyable playing experience and no bugs occur during their play time.
