Nobody said anything about that. The point is, even if you have experience, you can't phone it in during the interview.
If you aren't likeable, many people won't want to hire you no matter how experienced you are. It's just basic psychology.

About the "dying for the job" comment, though, I agree that is going too far. Personally, I think you should project a positive attitude about both your previous job, and about the possibility of working at the new place. But never act in a way that implies you aren't on equal footing with the interviewer. It should be a discussion, not a petition.
