If you love spending your free time gaming, there are lots of ways you can combine your passion with your career. In this blog post, we’ll explore five work experience ideas for students who like gaming.
Content creation
As a gamer, you probably already spend a lot of time on social media, discussing your favourite games and interacting with other gamers. Why not put that experience to use by managing social media accounts or creating content for gaming-related websites or YouTube channels? This can help you develop skills in content creation, social media management, and digital marketing.
Game testing
Game developers are always looking for people to test their games and provide feedback on gameplay, user experience, and bugs. You can find these opportunities by joining gaming communities, attending gaming events, or applying for internships at game development studios. This can give you valuable insights into game development and testing processes.
Game journalism
If you enjoy writing and have a passion for gaming, you can explore opportunities in game journalism and writing. You can start by creating a blog or contributing to gaming websites or magazines. This can help you develop your writing skills and gain experience in the field of journalism.
Event planning
Gaming events, such as tournaments, conventions, and charity events, are becoming increasingly popular. You can gain experience in event coordination and planning by volunteering at gaming events. This can help you develop skills in project management, organisation, and communication.
Community moderation
Many gaming companies have online communities where players can connect and share tips and advice. As a community moderator, you’ll be responsible for keeping the community safe and friendly, and ensuring that everyone follows the rules. This is a great way to develop your communication and leadership skills.
