Articulating Your Experience

Hey Monkeys,

Seems like we all know how to crank out technicals, talk about "why this firm" etc., as those are fairly canned portions of the interview that are easy to prep for. But how do you guys go about articulating your experience on your resume, especially for deals that aren't fresh in your head? Is there a formula or rule of thumb to abide by for walking people through deals on your resume? Are there certain metrics or high points that you keep in mind or always mention? What details about the deal (e.g. deal size, why this deal structure, the role you played) do you guys always make sure to include to satisfy an interviewer?
