I can get two or three calls from headhunters a month and even though more than happy where I am I still go on an interview or two every couple of years just to keep my wits about me in case I ever actually do need to move on.

As a "gatekeeper" myself I see a lot of chaff o get a single grain of wheat through interviews. Many, many, MANY people think they are more qualified for a position than they really are.
