I'm looking for work. I'm seeking employment.

I'm looking for work is the normal expression. You can also say I'm job-hunting. Another way is to say : I need work, or, I need a job. That's Nececito trabajo, and sounds more urgent. Welcome liliana, I hope that helps.

This sounds weird. - SpanishPal, Sep 4, 2011
I agree, in English we would almost always use present progressive to indicate that we are actively seeking work. - Stadt, Sep 4, 2011
I voted for the welcome, but I agree with pal. Your translation is too literal. I can think of an instance where it would work. If someone were to ask what you do all day. - LaloLoco, Sep 4, 2011
