Short background info.
I got an unofficial job offer(内定) as a game programmer in a Japanese game company a week ago which I will be accepting. Then I will be going for internship till I graduate from the school next year April and start working full time.
Considering that I have no experience in any real working experience(just some part-times), I really need some advices from those who are currently working or already worked in a Japanese-run company.
Here's some of my question.
- Since I'm going to be the new guy, how do I address my superiors and "sempai's". I'm guessing just xxx-san would be ok. is xxxx-sempai is ok too?
- 敬語 Should I use it all the time when I'm talking to everyone or just the superiors in the workplace?
- nomikai, The place that I'm working, seems to have alot of nomikai. The problem is I don't drink, and that's where the socializing happens. I would love to join just really would like to avoid the drinking. So is it weird for me to join the nomikai and not drink any alcohol? What would other people(japanese) would think of it?
This is some of the things that I can think of right now.
and any other advices would be really appreciated.
