The EEA Family Permit allows you to work from day 1. You might find that employers are reluctant to employ someone with a short "visa". As suggested, it is recommended to apply for a 5 years Residence Card using form EEA2.

Others have already answered your questions, but just to add something. When you apply for your residence card, you will be issued with a Certificate of Application. This can be shown to potential employers as proof of right to work. Your residence card should be issued within 3 - 4 months.
