How to upload a resume to a website using selenium in python

Question

Below is the html which is having a “upload a resume” button on a website. I logged in to this website but now wanted to upload a resume using python selenium.

<a href="/resumes/new">upload a resume</a>

Below is the code I tried for clicking the upload a resume button. But it is throwing an error

NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element: //a[@href="/resumes/new"]

Attach_resume = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//a[@href="/resumes/new"]')

Is there anything that I am missing? I want to click that button and I want to upload a file to it. Please help me out.

Use this code, this will help you:

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get('https://www.careerbuilder.com')

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//a[@href="/resumes/new"]'))).click()

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'resumeOnComp'))).click()

driver.find_element_by_id('ucResumeUpload_newFileUpload_inputResumeUpload').send_keys('/path/to/file')
