There are many online job sites which allow you to upload your CV into their database. Employers then search these databases looking for suitable candidates to match positions they are offering. Here are 7 great reasons why you should submit your CV online and therefore improve your chances of being matched with the perfect position.

1. Your CV is your link to potential employers and is your way of saying, "Look at me, look what I can do". Huge amounts of employers search through CV banks looking for matches for positions they have to offer. By including your CV in as many databases as possible, you are increasing your chances of an employer finding you.

2. Some sites specialise in certain careers. By submitting your CV to a site in your field you are making sure that you get the best chance possible of finding a perfect match that meets your criteria.

3. Most CV banks keep you updated with information regarding your CV, such as how many times it has been looked at; what type of people are looking; and when. This way you know that at least employers are looking, even if you haven't been offered an interview yet.

4. Most jobsite databases don't charge you to use their services, the vast majority are some free. Submitting to these sites increases your chances of finding work without it even costing you a penny.

5. Editing your CV online is easy. All online databases give you the option of updating your CV if and when you need to. This is essential especially if yours is being looked over. Even if you haven't any new information to add to it, just change the wording around a little and your CV will show up as been updated, which improves the chances of employers looking at it.

6. If an employer is interested in you then online database sites will send e-mail directly to your inbox with the details of the employer and the job on offer.

7. Employers and recruiters use CV databases to their advantage by typing in certain keywords when searching for candidates to fill positions. By including these keywords in your CV it is more likely to stand out and get chosen. In order for yours to stand out you could include such words as, analytical, adaptable, coordinated, evaluated, flexible, managed, marketed, motivated, organised, promoted, skilled and trained.
