Interesting is an adjective that describes the thing that a person or people are responding to.
Things that we like and want to know more about are interesting, as in these examples:
This is one of the most interesting books I've read all year.
It will be interesting to see how she decides to spend the money.
This building has an interesting history.
This little rhyme might help you remember the difference between interested and interesting:

"-ing" is for the thing. ("-ing" is short for "interesting")

As title suggests..what's the difference? I heard that the difference is that with "in" you are
talking about something that will or is lasting in the time, while "to" is something you do just
one time.

So, the sentence "I am interested in starting my career in your company" is correct? Or
maybe "I am interested to start my career in your company"?
Interested in
When you use "interested in", you are usually talking about being interested in something
(generally, a noun). For example, you can be interested in wine, or interested in cheese.
Therefore, this sentence usually takes the form "[Someone] is interested in [something]."

There are times, however where the something you are interested in can be a verb. For
example, you can be interested in swimming, or reading, or sleeping. In this case, the verb is
acting like a noun. When a verb acts like a noun, it is called a gerund and almost always will
end in "-ing".

Interested to
"Interested to" is a bit more complicated, because by itself it doesn't really make sense. The
"to" is actually part of the verb that comes after it, like in "to read", "to see", or "to hear".
This "to form" of the verb is known as the infinitive, and is used to add detail to (or modify)
the word that comes before it.

This type of sentence usually takes the form of "[Someone] is interested [to do something]."
To really answer your question...
"Interested in" is used when what comes after it is a noun, or a verb acting like a noun
(known as a gerund).

"Interested to" is used when what comes after it is a verb in its "to form" (known as an
infinitive).

"I am interested in starting my career in your company" is the preferred construction. While
"I am interested to start my career in your company" may be technically correct, you should
not use it because people generally don't use "interested" with "to start". A more commonly
accepted way to say it while still using the "to" would be "I am excited to start my career in
your company".

Hope this helps, and good luck with your new career! :)
Short answer: "Interested in...."
AND "Interesting to see, discover, learn..."
EXAMPLE: I am interested in learning more about your native country."
OR "I am interested to learn more about your native country."
EXAMPLE: Are you interested in seeing another item?"
EXAMPLE: "It was interesting to learn that my Republican friends are reluctant to admit
they are Republicans. They actually whisper to me 'Don't tell anyone but I'm more interested

I was educated during the fifties and sixties and my schools were very progressive for the
time, so I learned a lot using mnemonics (simple ways to jog the memory) and rhyming or
sing-song teaching aids. For more info on mnemonics, see 9 Types of Mnemonics for Better
Memory
The prepositions that still stick in my mind are "AFTER, AROUND, AT, BY, DOWN... IN,
