CMBS Portfolio Analyst Interiew: knowledge of ARGUS or DYNA

Not sure if this belongs in this forum or the AM forum...

I have an interview coming up for a portfolio analyst supporting a securitized PM team (mainly CMBS). Does anyone have suggestions on specifics or general ideas that I should be prepared to answer?

The job posting says they prefers working knowledge of ARGUS or DYNA, neither of which I have used. Previously, I worked on ABS/RMBS/CMBS deals on the trustee side of a large US bank doing collateral analysis, reporting, etc. The description of the job also refers to sensitivity and variance analysis around op budgets, valuation models, returns, etc.

I am a CFA charterholder, but not sure how helpful it will be in this role. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated? Thanks in advance.
