Don't sweat it... My C++ experience was zilch at the end of my last job (Mplayer) and I spent time working on a C++ class library for a while, both to learn the language and to develop something I could hopefully make Windows games with. I didn't get too far, but what I did get was enough to qualify me for my current job, which requires a pretty good C++ engineer. I'm doing just fine.
Of course I had a lot of C experience before that, but C++ is very different, and we are a very smart bunch here.
The short of it is, yes you can at least generate good code samples, and the code samples can be shown to prospective employers. But be sure to pick up and adhere to a good coding style, you do not want to show prospective employers spaghetti code, or badly documented code.
