IMHO the time for selectivity is when you have multiple job offers in hand. Until that time, barring SERIOUS time constraints, take any marginally interesting interview that comes your way. Use the "marginal" ones for practice, and also use the time to explore what *other* job opportunities might be arising in the company.

There have been several times in my life where I interviewed for a "boring" job like salesperson or marketing leader, and ended up in an interview for a manager/director slot in a more interesting department two weeks later. Good news travels fast, and good people are *found* the right job.

I think you'll hurt yourself if you're too selective too early, and also rob yourself of the opportunity to practice for that "perfect" job that will come open.

Good luck.
