You would need to find an employer who is willing to offer you a job and who can also obtain an approved Labour Market Opinion before you will qualify to apply for a temporary work permit. It is typically quite difficult to find an employer and the LMO processing takes several months. So your visit may run out before you have a chance to apply for a work permit.
