I think this is true in 99.9% of cases; however, last year in rare honest feedback from an interview with a large (fortune 100) company I was told that I came across as “too enthusiastic”... which was a bit of a shock since I usually receive the opposite response. So again, it does depend on the interviewers but generally you’re probably better off going with enthusiastic.

Generally speaking, I would tend to agree- however, in terms of interviewing I would say being “enthusiastic”/“passionate” are definitely skills/buzzwords that can check a lot of boxes if you do them the right way. So in that sense, I think they also qualify as skills in this particular arena.
