Have Networking interview next week Monday...

in CCNA & CCENT
So I have been reading tons of post on this website and decided to make an account and participate. I am a college student majoring in IT with concentration in Security. The concentration doesn't really mean anything, I just took those courses to expand a little bit since I am doing security one day. I have done two internships in Security, one for security management and one currently doing vendor auditing. They were both boring, and didn't expand my knowledge like I expected...
So I chose to change my career shift to Networking, which is a good progressive field. I have been denied countless times for the fact that I do not have any proof I know anything about networking. I have an interview and I am currently studying for the CCENT along with Packet Tracer. The problem is the same old "I'm a college student with no experience or certs", so I was wondering should I take some of my example packet tracer diagrams to the interview? I feel if I just tell the manager that I do it that it wouldn't mean much, and that if I show him my work that it would show I really do have potential for this field.
Also is there anything else I could bring/say to the manager to better my case for the things I lack? I graduate this December.
