the first exists, the second is even more of a smokescreen here than it is in the west.

I thought you could drink in Fujirah. I've stayed at the Hilton (?) on the beach and had a beer.

I've been wondering that...

From an outsider's perspective--from what i've read--it seems dubai is positioning itself as a model citizen: an aid hub for africa (humanitarian city), current programs like Dubai Cares, and the city's first corporate social responsibility report.

am i fooled by the hype?

The only thing that Dubai understates is how good they are at the Hype.....

it's absolutely true. It's all hype here and zero substance.

dubai cares? Rather than starting some fancy new programme with dignitaries making impassioned speeches, how about enforcing already exisiting laws closer to home about treatment of the bottom tier of society, paying labourers the agreed wage, allowing pay increases to cope with the high inflation, shock-horror even consider unions...?

Nah far easier to hire some PR guru to throw some more smoke around.

That is a big no no - not unless you're applying to become a model.

I never include my age, religion, nationality, hobbies,marital status, "goals" etc etc on my CV.

I just have my name and contact details on the centre at the very top.

Then start with the current/last organisation you're working for on the left, with designation below. Then period of employment and place on the right.
Brief description of responsibilities (bullet points) and significant achievements.

Education - right at the end.

Ideally your CV should not be more than 2 pages long, 3 at the most.

do they ask for all of that afterwards anyway before moving forward? I applied to a few jobs all over the gulf region last year, every agency came back asking for marital status, age, nationality etc. at the time i thought it was a bit strange so never replied but since my latest job hunt for dubai i've realised that it seems to be a standard set of questions

Welcome to a multi-tier society... you get paid according to your nationality here.
