confused getting job

Dear Donkey's Ear

I am a university student who is ready to get a job.
I have great grades in my major field of study. I am also good in English.
I will graduate university in this year.

But I am worried about getting a job. Recently the world economy is worse and
Korea's economy is worse too. So there are few opportunities to get a job.
I don't have confidence that I will be success to get a job.

There are not enough information to get a job.
I don't know what I should study or achieve more.
May I ask for you some advice?

  • Information is singular, not plural, so "There is not enough information..." 
  • Do you mean "what I should study to achieve more"? Please ask about this.
