Crash n Burn baby......
Day 4 in Dubai:
I had my first interview at a local e-Commerce company and very modestly speaking the interview was terrible ! Yep, I wasn't sure what the interviewer was expecting and it occured to me that I was totally unprepared on how to talk to interviewers here. Some exerpts from the interview:
Interviewer: Stop talking about what "we" did, all you talk about is we-we-we. I'm more interested in you. Start talking about youself, say the word I-I-I.
Interviewer: What's so great about eCommerce in America, I think eCommerce is better here
Oh well, crash n burn once baby...!...but remember to pick youself up and fight again.

Lol... more reminders of the culture difference huh?
Hang in there. I am sure you'll get the hang of it very soon.

Don't worry. Looks like your interviewer might have been a hater to begin with.
But I do agree with conviniently replacing the word 'we' by 'i'. And even if you say 'we'. Clarify it by what you did in the project :)
And I think America has better infrastructure than Dubai when it comes to ecommerce. But well, you can't tell that to someone interviewing you ;)
Things will be well soon! Promise :)
That was me...
