I know it is one of the cliché interview questions but do expect to be asked this at one point or another. Instead of telling your life story, in my case, I highlighted my work experiences (briefly) what I did etc. I think one of the ice breaker I said was that I first came to Dubai in 2001 which they took interest in knowing that I arrived in this country way longer than they did. It also helped that the Recruitment Manager had a background in oil & gas industry which we had something in common.
