help adjusting a resume to apply for ibanking jobs

Hello, I just completed a wealth management internship at Merrill Lynch and am now looking to apply for jobs in investment banking. I found on another website that the format below should be used when applying for investment banking jobs. I am having a hard time coming up with ideas of what to write. Anybody ever do a similar internship? How can I best word this internship experience on my resume? Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

[Company Name] City, [State/Country] [Position Title], [Group Name] [Start Date] – [End Date] • [Summary sentence stating what you did and the overall results of your work] • Selected [Client / Project / Transaction] Experience: o [Project #1]  [Led team to do xx, which resulted in more efficiency / time or money saved / higher sales] o [Project #2]  [Analyzed xx and concluded that key factor was xx, which made project viable / not viable; resulted in company proceeding with project] o [Project #3]  [Created xx new method for doing xx; led to increased efficiency / sales]

dude, you already have a template. just fill in the blanks and come in with words for your own. or your'e a complete dumbass and need people to feed food in your mouth. i can understand if you have some points and statements that are already done/completed on your own, but if you have not put any effort into getting your shit together, or even understand what you did in your internship, you're complete rubbish, and you never deserved an internship with ML even doing WM stuff. think about what you did, and just use the template you posted as a reference. otherwise, you should go f*&) yourself. i hate seeing lazy shits just asking for help when they don't even attempt on their own.
