Buy side fixed income research interview question

I work for a regulator doing FI research for the office of the chief economist. I am interviewing for a FI research role at an investment management firm with ~2.3Tn AUM.

I interviewed with HR yesterday the firm uses a bottoms-up fundamental approach in FI research - I’m assuming high yield. HR stated that the team is going to want to know about my experience in modeling. Although I do model, which is from a different angel, I use more of a top-down macroeconomic approach as I cover multiple products within: corporates (IG & HY), securitized products, treasuries.

Any advice on how I can spin my background in way to show them I have a good baseline for what they want?

In grad school I did a lot of modeling: DCF and Financial Statement analysis and undergrad was in accounting.

Thanks
