The episode is full of tips on where aspiring international lawyers can get started, what skills they should be looking into and how to craft the perfect application. From her own experience, Sadaf talks about why language was a key component of her own submissions and the Australia-based organisations that could lend a hand. 

For listeners concerned about how they could fit into this space, Sadaf said it is important to “rise to the occasion” in any job: “I would really encourage anybody who is thinking of applying to not be discouraged from job descriptions. It is likely that everyone will rise to the occasion and be more than equipped to do it.” 

Sadaf also shares with listeners what her own international law experiences were like, including at the United Nations and the International Bar Association.
