I heard there are websites where I can just upload my resume, and employers peruse through them and they contact you if they are interested in you. Do you know such websites?

Use the following web sites.
Monster.com, Hotjobs.com, Dice.com, www.net-temps.com
CareerBuilder.com, JobCircle.com,
www.job-hunt.org, , Jobs.com,
DirectEmployers.com, CollegeRecruiter.com,
TrueCareers.com , Career.com.
Want more ...
The first 6 sites are the most popular and effective ones.
Hope they are enough and I am sure they would help you find something suitable.
But the most important thing is after you upload your resume and open an account--please setup a Job agent which would send you e-mail alerts whenever there are jobs out there matching your search criteria, on a daily or weekly basis, as you choose. Have a happy job search !!

There are some. But I've never heard of anyone actually getting a job through the general ones, although it was a brilliant idea.
Here's a Web sites that discusses that and gives ideas:
http://jobsearch.about.com/cs/resumeposting/a/resumepost.htm
I would recommend posting your resume with one or more sites specialized in your professional field: IT, legal or whatever. You really have to take the initiative to get your cv in front of HR managers, and there's nothing like the US (or Royal) Mail for that. But it's a great idea to print business cards and put the URL for your online resumé on them. If the URL is long, make a http://tinyurl.com or http://snurl.com short version for it.
See also other links, such as Monster and Hotjobs (which is a part of Yahoo!, so you're virtually a member already):

Plenty of good ones were actually mentioned. Here are two more if you're seeking work in the computer industry...
http://dice.com
http://computerjobs.com
And that last one actually DID land me a job as a computer programmer, so it's not just a recommendation, but my personal experience.
Some additional tips...
1. You should know that many of these sites make you fill out your resume online instead of uploading. Some give you the option of doing it either way, but simply uploading often results in errors as the software on the server tries to "interpret" the different sections of your resume. So whenever possible, go to the extra trouble of retyping it in a form.
2. Update your resume frequently. Often, when EMPLOYERS are searching these sites, they get the results of the search with the most recently modified resumes listed first.
3. Finally, don't just upload your resume and then just sit there and expect the employers to come to you. Be an active searcher of the job opportunities listed on the site. Often the site will have a feature to automatically send the resume you have on file to a specific employer/listing. If/when there is an opportunity to attach a cover letter to your resume, ALWAYS do so, and write a thoughtful comment telling (a) why you believe you're a good match for that job, and (b) why you want to work for THEIR company (research them online).
4. Don't just rely on outside sources. Design your OWN website with your resume. Also, if your skill set allows you to offer services or products to people, either for sale or on a contractual basis, then by all means list those things on your own website as well. The key here is LEVERAGE. There are all sorts of ways to point to your resume. For example, let's think of auctions. What sorts of things could you sell in an auction, that relate in one way or another to the skills on your resume? When your auction has links to your website, then every single person who SEES your auction listing becomes a potential employer, not just those who BID or WIN your auction. I'm in the process of writing a tutorial on just this sort of leverage and diversity in web design. At the moment it's a work in progress, but comments would certainly be welcome.

Monster , Yahoo Hotjobs, Careerbuilder are some of the largest job boards, where you can apply for jobs and upload your resume. Since Craigslist, allows free job postings, many smaller companies post their vacancies on this online classifieds website. You can also search for jobs from multiple websites using aggregators like SimplyHired and Indeed. Referrals are also becoming a increasingly popular way to get hired.
