Several ways for you to get a work permit:
1. check out the Council for International Education and Exchange
(www.ciee.org) to apply for a 4 month work permit to work in Europe. This is
a special visa for studients. I helped my sister-in-law do it in the opposite
direction for her to work in the US.
2. Another way to get a work permit is to register for advanced graduate
studies at a French university (Such as an applied linguistics program).
Tuition is very inexpensive, about 200 euros per year. You can legally work
half-time while studying.
I did that for several years.
3. Another way to get a work permit is to marry a European. I did that too.
4. or try the hard way and get the hiring company to get you the work permit.
