The moment I read "show us how enthusiastic you are" I always suspect a trap.

Motivation, drive, and enthusiasm, are important. Not doubting that.

But experience teaches that most companies use the notion of enthusiasm to mean you're going to work overtime, not get paid for said overtime, and generally get heaps and heaps of work loaded on to you, far more than reasonable, and if you complain, they'll "doubt your enthusiasm".

Not a workplace I want to be part of.
