"Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)"

Are you using M&A as a term a second time in the resume? If not, why define the term?
Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.

"Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)"

Are you using M&A as a term a second time in the resume? If not, why define the term?

I'm only using it once. I was asking if I should write "Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)" or just "M&A".

I'd be fine seeing just M&A. I'm confused why you'd write "mergers and acquisitions (M&A)" though. Why define a term if you never use that abbreviation?

If you're not doing this as a definition, then what is the purpose of "(M&A)"? It's completely redundant. If I saw this, I'd think you were including "(M&A)" without any idea why you were doing it.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
