Hi Stevezoe,
you can also find a company who needs your qualifications and will pay for your work permit. It is difficult but you might be lucky. I found a company as well who arranged the Visa for me and offered an employment altough I didn´t have a valid work permit. I am already in the work Permit procedure now and will get my work permit within the next 2 weeks. I would suggest to seek a job/company who employs foreigners and try your luck. My company offered employment because of my language skills. They were seeking german speaking people. That´s the reason why I got the job. And I applied for a Critical Skills Visa. General Work Permit´s take up to 8 months till you get it approved. So it will be better to apply for another Kind of visa. But not every company qualifies for every kind of Visa. It depends on the business and company.
Good luck
