Hi Roberta,
Bob has covered everything but I thought I'd elaborate on one thing: When you say "I'm currently seeking for", I guess you started with 'looking for', which would be correct because 'to look for' is a phrasal verb.
However, 'to seek for' is not a phrasal verb, so the -ing for of 'to seek' (seeking) is enough by itself.
I hope this is helpful,
Jules

Hello Roberta,
Your sentences are quite good but need a little polishing. 'Seeking' doesn't need a preposition - 'I am seeking a new position ... '
"look forward to' is always followed by a noun or the -ing form of a verb - 'I look forward to having ...' and I would use the word 'opportunity' instead of occasion. (The collocation is 'have the opportunity to + infinitive'.)
Best wishes
Bob
