I learned a strategy on how to approach this question for new people from some show on PBS. Wherever you're meeting the new person, that's information that you can delve into. For example:
At college: what is your major? At a party: how did you meet the host(s)? At a job: what attracted you to this job? Waiting in line at a store: What's your favorite thing to get here? And the favorite--existing in modern times: What do you do for a living? Though I prefer to be asked about hobbies.
