Seek = To look for, to Search for, (Usually used in old English) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/seek?s=t Search = To look for, to Search for, (The same thing) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/search?s=t Wanted = Simply the past tense of "to want, to desire" http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/want?s=t

"Seek a job" = "chercher un emploi" "Search a job" ne se dit pas en anglais. Il faut dire "search for a job" et dans ce cas c'est à peu près la même phrase que "seek a job". "(I) wanted a job" = "(j'ai) voulu un emploi".

Seek and search are similar, but seek is more formal. You can say you are seeking a job or you are searching *for* a job. You are searching for a job because you want a job. Je suis à la recherche pour un job parce que je veux un job. I hope this helps.
