Hello YAMANY , I understand your frustration. The restriction on your work hours can be a hurdle when applying for full-time logistics jobs. I suggest you include a cover letter with your applications explaining your visa situation and the steps to convert a job seeker visa to a work visa. Also highlight your flexibility with the 10 hour limit. You may want to contact the Hamburg Welcome Center for advice on your specific situation: https://www.hamburg.com/welcome/hwc/ They may be able to offer suggestions or clarify the process for employers or prepare the cover letter with you.
