I am writing for a contest:
having a Master degree will give my chances their best to find employment after graduation.
I am especially asking about the word their.

If I look at the following sentence I see several ways to fill in the blank. Note the change to an uppercase H and from Master degree to master's degree.
Having a master's degree will _________ to find employment after graduation.
Some options that use chances or chance:
- improve my chances
- give me the best chance
- better my chances
You asked about the usage of their when referencing the chances. I could see using:
My chances were at their best when I stopped speaking.
