Resume for Finance Internship - Sophomore Summer

I currently have an internship at a government agency, and I am dealing almost exclusively with information that has yet to go public. Because of this, I am not allowed to talk about it with anyone outside of the office.

I am also preparing resume/cover letter to submit for finance (non-IB) summer internships. Because of the sensitive nature of the work, I don't have any specifics about the work I am doing/have done at this internship. Is this a bad thing and, if it is, (how) should I note that I am not allowed to talk about the stuff?

thanks

It's only ok to speak about a confidential deal in those circumstances with someone on the deal team. So, if you interview with someone involved in the deal, then yes you can discuss, because you would be able to discuss the deal with them anyway.

If someone there brings up confidential information first, you can discuss that information with them, just don't reveal anything else if they aren't specifically on the deal team. Look at your team list to figure this out if you like.

I put "~$200M sale of..." - figured that gave them a ballpark without announcing the real figure.
