Why volunteer when I can just use the following websites which have this functionality?:

Good question :-) I wouldn't either.

I read your post as "stuff that jobs.perl.org should have". My bad.

Apparently, they view the functionality as "worthwhile," as do the plethora of job seekers and employers who use the service every day

I'm not trying to say that CV uploads are worthless! Just that, in my experience, employers don't use them.

The job sites love them since they get tons of demographic info that they can resell, have the opportunity to up-sell their users to training, etc. (Having done some usability work for a certain large job site this was explained to me in excruciating detail :-)

Users like having CV management services.

Agents love being able to buy and search bulk lists.

Employers? Nope. YMMV.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
