You can only apply for a work permit once you have employment. It is theoretically possible to look for a job once in Hong Kong but the employment market there is incredibly competitive and the risk that you'll come up empty handed is very real.
The good news is that there are a host of online portals that allow you to apply without having to take that risk.
Hello,
You may have a look at the Russian Business Club (http://www.rusbc.com.hk/). It will certainly give you some tips and ideas. Don't worry if you don't know Russian. The meetings are in English. It provides great opportunities for networking.
Regards,
Peter

Have a look at our Working in Hong Kong and Visas for Hong Kong pages to get a better idea of how things work.
Good luck!
