You can be have modest - it is indeed important, as well as your set of skills and abilities while you show (but not show).
You want not as inflated come from, or think you are "everything, what", but neither should your skills in a certain downplaying self-deprecating. If you will be asked about your strengthen, or what sets you apart from other candidates, confident, direct response be prepared with one.
