Hi - thank you very much for your question!

I would say the most important skill is a willingness to learn. When you first join EY you are not expected to have any prior knowledge / experience in your chosen service line, however you are expected to be enthusiastic and be ready to take on any new opportunities.

Other skills that are also very important are: time management (as you begin to take on more responsibility), attention to detail and interpersonal skills.

What it is worth noting, is a lot of these skills you will learn and develop on the job (for example, I have significantly improved my public speaking skills since joining EY).

As mentioned above, if you can demonstrate a strong willingness to learn all of these skills, you will do very well.
