    Default make a sentence "checked out"

    Is this sentence all right?

    I have checked out their website and I am not interested to apply for the position.

    "Checked out" is fine, but see my amendment in red.

    We say "I'm not interested in verb+ing something" or "I'm not interested in + noun".

    We don't use "I'm interested/not interested to ... "
