So you're a millennial seeking a legal job? Well, you face some potential obstacles by virtue of your millennial status.

In some quarters in the conservative legal profession you have some immediate prejudices to overcome, which is simply the way it is in the law business at present.

Here are 7 tips to weight the scales in your favour -

1. Dress to Impress - According to one recruiter (Adecco) around three-quarters of millennials' biggest mistake is failing to dress properly for interviews.

2. Arrive early - Millennials have a reputation for being "relaxed" in matters of time. Arrive early to show you're professional and organised.

3. Prepare well - Preparation is key for any lawyer, but check out the firm or company by doing some research and reading to find out as much as you can about their culture and work. Check out others who have worked through LinkedIn or elsewhere to obtain additional background information also.

4. Watch your body language - body language can be as important as your verbal skills. Look at your interviewer in the eye and appear confident, not cocky.

5. Clean up your social media - Most employment experts believe too many millennials fail to keep an eye on their social media sites, with too many displaying photos or information that is too personal or inappropriate. Know that your sites will be checked out.

6. Sell yourself - It's a selling job, so make sure you explain your abilities and areas of interest, but don't come across as over-confident. It's a balancing act.

7. Follow up - Send a thank you email and summarise any points about yourself in an email. It won't do any harm.

Millennials seeking to score a good legal job who handle these seven steps will be helping themselves to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
