I'm really intrested in becoming a Games Tester. Please bear in mind I live in the UK so I'm only looking for UK jobs/companies, and I am looking for a career in games but I don't mind starting at the bottom. A few things I need to know:

How would I go about applying for the position?
What qualifications would I need, if any?
What's the pay and hours like? (I don't care about getting low pay for long hours to start with.)

Any other info would be apprciated.
