Being too eager is a no.
Being too perfect is a no.

The same reason that the military rejects people who want to be in the military a little too much. You're a liability.

I'm not an eager person

they didn't like you enough

I got my job by being a clever little shit. Apparently disagreeing with who I later learned was the VP about the upcoming Star Wars was a big factor in hiring me. Not sure how that helped but it did.

But this is what everyone is doing. Presenting yourself as too obsequious, "perfect fit for criteria", obedient, and similar... is not the way to go.

If you want to stand out, you should try to be more grounded and candid. Say what you actually want, but with an emphasis that isn't edgy or self-aggrandizing.

For example, when I was a graduate I tended to think in terms of "I just want a job" or "I just want money" and I tried to perform in interviews like it was a graded test. Really graduates need to convey an impression like "I want to have a career in _______, so I see myself spending the next 2 or 3 years in a ________ role."

Businesses basically just want to get a sense that you're not going to waste their investment in recruitment. Your average employer doesn't want amazing candidates who will get bored, or shitty candidates who will underperform, or people who are not actually interested.

I would strongly recommend- to anyone looking for a job -instead of doing searches about tips and tricks for job interviews... do searches about conducting a job interview. Try to understand the people on the other side of the table.
