I've both been the interviewer and the one being interviewed. I can say that without a doubt the #1 thing I look for in someone is passion.

When I ask someone about their past work experiences I want to hear passion in their recollection, not regret or bitterness. When I ask them to tell me about themselves etc, I want to hear passion.

Apathy sucks. Passion is where it's at. I've never left an interview thinking "man, I think I may have come across as too passionate."

This is such a great point.
