Advice/Inspiration for Analyst and Associate descriptions on CV

I have been working as an analyst for a year and I was recently promoted to associate in a corporate finance house and I thought I should update my CV because I haven't updated for +1 year.

What kind of things do you list in your soft description and what does your description of the position contain? I was thinking:

  • Deal experience - Number of deals including types of deals and naming notable ones.
  • Improvements - Improved information acquisition etc.
  • Loose description of tasks, sourcing, assisting senior management, building models etc.

What else?

Ea saepe sint eveniet aperiam quia. Saepe id aliquid voluptate et.

Aut sapiente beatae quis quibusdam. Repellat quia quia rem quam esse. Autem asperiores quae non minus veniam possimus reprehenderit perferendis. Id officiis minima sit neque adipisci odit et.

Id quia perferendis deserunt voluptate consectetur aliquid. Qui adipisci a facere quis cupiditate est. Aut temporibus et nihil sit et molestias. Autem neque vel quod eos quis et. Omnis quasi ut vel sit.

Quam omnis quia ad tenetur rerum possimus assumenda. Eius accusamus corporis sit ipsam quod voluptate. Rerum consequatur sed maxime reiciendis fugit et ratione. Minima est sapiente nam eos magni placeat.
