I have an interview tomorrow for a real estate acquisition analyst role with the Managing Partner of a small real estate PE firm. Currently an A2 in audit and feeling a bit under-qualified. I have very little experience in RE modeling but don’t want to explicitly mention that during the interview (for obvious reasons). Any advice on how I should approach my inexperience if asked during the interview?

The managing partner would not be wasting his time interviewing you if you were not a serious candidate. Go into the interview with confidence and do everything that you can to convince him that you would do a good job if given the opportunity.

You would not have been selected for an interview if they didn't think you could do the work.

Want to give a quick update. The interviewer hit me with a case interview which I was NOT expecting. Considering the circumstances I think I managed well. Apparently I did well enough to get invited to the final round of interviews so wish me luck!
