Will you be able to acquire a visa?

If so, you'll have no problem looking for the work you want.

Now if you're gonna be needing company sponsorship, well that's gonna be a problem. You'll need experience on the field you wish to work for in order to be sponsored. Have you worked in a hotel? Have you taught English?

Desperation calls for desperate measures, marry into acquiring a visa if you can't obtain one. Once you have the visa go here and look for the work you want to do. Good luck!:)
