Do I need to be licensed to seek a job on behalf of a foreign national for a fee?

In this case, the foreign national would retain my services to update their resume and send apply for jobs on their behalf, for a service fee. Of course, the contract would state that there is no guarantee that an offer of employment would be received.

No, no license is required to do work like that you describe for individual foreign nationals. If you peform work for foreign persons, businesses, of governmental units that is intended to change or affect our government policy, you'd need to become a registered foreign agent, but that is not what you describe.
