Interview help in Corporate Finance Role

Hi anyone out there,


I applied for this internship this summer and was contacted by someone in HR. We have scheduled a meeting for next week and I'm kind of nervous about how it is going to go. The role title is "Valuation and Project Finance Intern" and it is for a company in the sector I currently work in: utilities. I aspire to break into an investment banking coverage group, specifically power/utilites/infrastructure. Kind of a niche field right? Anyways, I am going into this interview mentioning my skills such as:

I know the concepts behind these skills, however, I have not used financial modelling or security analysis in a professional setting.


The question is then here.... do I rep these skills, even though I do not have experience using them in an investing/valuation environment like project finance is????? 


Thanks,
