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?

Dear Donkey's ears,

Select in Tokyo.

Dear Select in Tokyo,

Thank you for making corrections to your post! Great work! Please note these last few changes: 
  • A company which produces cars/computers is the correct form. "A company" is singular.
  • The proper sentence order is: I have worked for ABC Company, which produces cars, for 30 years
  • ears should be capitalized, written Ears in this case, because it is a title
  • advice should be spelled advise

Military service broke couple

Dear Donkey's Ear

My girlfriend and I have been together 1 year.
군화, 고무신We keep good relation each other.

One day, one letter was sent to me. The notice of military service!
I thought about my girlfriend because I hear that many couples had broken up in bad way.
someone said, "It is the best thing that I part with a girlfriend."
someone said, "No, no, no. If she is a good girl, she must wait for you.
I don't know what should I do.

 I think that it is better way to part with a girlfriend. Because if we keep our relationship
both of us are distressed. We will be worse than yesterday.

 So is it right thing that I part with my girlfriend?

 

Dear Brokenhearted in Boston,

Thank you for making corrections to your post! Great work! Please note these last few changes: 
  • Relation should be changed to relationship
  • "we keep good relation each other" should be "we have a good relationship"
  • "a" should be replaced with "my"
  • So is parting with my girlfriend the right thing?

Big gap makes broken hearts.

Dear Donkey's ears,

My girl friend and I have been together for one year. We spent a happy time together, and she introduced me to her parents.

But her parents were surprised and refused to accept me. Because I am 50 years old and she is 20 years old. I know it's difficult for her parents. But we already promised to marry each other. I don't think there is a relationship between love and age.

Now, I'll try asking her parents again to get married. Please tell me what I should say.
