Position myself from project finance to investment banking?

Hello all,

I'm wondering if you can give me some suggestions. I'm going to meet up with a few bankers next week. I would like to find out how I can position myself so that I can make the bankers think that my job experience is relevant to IB or Capital Market?

I have a project finance background and I do a lot of energy deals - either direct loan to the energy company or to a sponsor of an energy fund. In the transaction, I do the following:

-Analyzing the sponor's financial model and assumptions as well as building my own. -Run sensitivities and do stress test on the model -Write the credit paper & term sheet to get approval from the internal credit and investment committees -Negotiate the lending terms and structure the deal with the borrower(s) and other related parties. -On site due dilligence and endless documentation.

Thanks
