Something for the CV at least.

Not really - only requirement for that role is to be able to play games on different consoles. Just need to be a gaming

You will be a keen gamer, who is looking for their first job within the games industry. Although no previous professional experience is required. You will be a highly skilled console gamer, with experience on various platforms. Due to the nature of gamers development both evening and weekend work is required during periods of the year.
