ESRB Hiring Pro Content Reviewers

The ESRB’s Patricia Vance commented on the project: ‘Having full-time raters will allow for each one to have greater experience actually reviewing content and recommending ratings … this would provide each rater with a greater sense of historical parity for ratings, not to mention helping them to be more attuned to pertinent content and how it should be considered from a ratings standpoint. The full-time raters would also be responsible for play-testing final versions of the game, time permitting, which would allow for ESRB to play-test a greater number of games than it currently does.’

I personally find the ESRB to be a huge waste of time, but if you are looking for a job where you get to play games, check it out. It’s pretty easy to “guess” a rating of a game just by looking at the box art, more often than not.
