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?
