Im sorry. One more question. Can i say " I am seeking for a job" or does it have to be "I seek a job"? Is seek a stative verb or a verb of action?

Seek is an action verb like looking... I'm looking for a job.

Seeking means looking for, to say seeking for is redundant (repetitive). It would be like saying I'm looking for for a job.

@AimePpinheiro makes a great point! In fact, to say I'm seeking a job is a mixture of formal and informal speech. If I were going to use the word seeking, I'd probably write "I'm seeking employment..." if I were to say seeking, it might be during the interview process... But I would likely stick to the words looking for. As in, "I'm seeking an employment opportunity where I can..." it's more natural to say "I'm looking for an employment opportunity... " For some reason speaking the word seeking is distracting and may have your audience thinking about your choice of words more than about what you're talking about. However, when writing, using looking for may be too casual.
