also would depend on the job your going for 
Im usually pretty good on interviews, its usually the part of them shortlisting that i get knocked off for. So i should be ok.

Because your a women you should get it, quite rare to get a female games tester.

Erm not as easy as that. Imagine when you get hacked off with a game you can just put it down and walk off but in this job you have to stick at it. Can be quite a frustrating job. It has its obvious benefits.

obviously a bonus if you actually like playing games though
can imagine what bug reporting and testing must be like though, especially during the early stages of a game. Frustrating to say the least.

I'd have the trouble of liking games too much, and getting annoyed at having to put them down to write the report up!
