How to walk through your resume after undergrad?

What is the proper way to introduce yourself after you have graduated college? I am a first-year analyst and am prepping behaviorals in anticipation of PE HH meetings.

During undergrad, I followed this format and stuck to 60-90 seconds:

  1. Background: School, major, where I'm from, and interests
  2. Spark: What got me interested in finance/banking
  3. Growing interest: Rattling off internship experiences chronologically
  4. Close: Why I'm here/why this firm

How should I structure my story to incorporate deal experience? Should I talk about undergrad PE internships? Should I go chronologically? How long should it take?

If anyone would be willing to post a loose framework of how they introduce themselves, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
