Did I played it too cool?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Without more details, it&#8217;s hard to say whether your initial reluctance to pursue this job affected the final outcome.&nbsp; What mattered was whether you were reluctant during the face to face interview.&nbsp;&nbsp;It shouldn&#8217;t surprise you that organizations do not want to hire someone who doesn\u2019t want to be there.<\/p>\n<p>I can tell you that I&#8217;ve interviewed many people who I thought were perfect on paper, but seemed hesitant about the position.&nbsp; During the course of a face-to-face interview, that lack of enthusiasm will always come through to the interviewers and may put you at a disadvantage over other candidates who&nbsp;&nbsp;are more eager to join the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But I think that&#8217;s ok.&nbsp; You should view the interview as&nbsp;an&nbsp;opportunity to learn about the position or the employer.&nbsp; Perhaps, during the interview, you&nbsp;<u>will<\/u>&nbsp;become excited and enthused because you learned something new and unexpected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even if that change doesn&#8217;t happen, going through the process of the interview will still benefit you.&nbsp; There is&nbsp;an&nbsp;art to being a successful interviewee and the more practice you get, the better you will become at it.&nbsp; At&nbsp;Dear&nbsp;AAPAAN, we\u2019ve written a number of blog on interviews.&nbsp;&nbsp;You might check them out.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, you had the chance to meet a new recruiter or a new employee &#8212; they may think of you the next time a position comes up that better meets your interests.&nbsp; So, don&#8217;t measure this interview with a scorecard where you &#8220;lost&#8221; because you didn&#8217;t get the offer.&nbsp; Rather, you can best advance your career when you remain open new challenges and opportunities like this interview.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was recruited for a job I initially was luke warm toward.
