It was a pretty great actuarial position. This was the one where I thought they had an office in NY but it was not the case and I knew nothing about the real location, mentally I didn't know how I felt about moving away from NY, so upon being asked about the location my reaction was "I'll think about it". Almost immediately after the phone interview was over, I was kicking myself. I've since researched the location and I would genuinely like to live there. I've called and e-mailed explaining that I was hesitant because I didn't know enough about the location but now that I do I would love to live there, etc etc.

It didn't make a difference- I wasn't invited to an in person interview and the rest of my phone interview was pretty great except for that one fatal mistake. I should have faked lots of enthusiasm from the get go- before figuring out how much enthusiasm I actually feel.
