How to leverage military experience in Resume

I was in the US Army for 6 years and currently doing my undergraduate degree in Finance in the New York City area. Need suggestions on how to articulate my military experience in my resume for an internship in investment banking?

First, I recommend getting a mentor from here : https://acp-advisornet.org/

Second, I would use any example that translates to leadership and working in a team. Remember the people reading your resume are most likely civilians so word in a way they can understand it. Try to convey your skills on your resume without using acronyms.

 

I agree. Leadership and teamwork. Also you can reference how you’ve already worked the banking hours if that applies to you.
