No file was submitted. Check the encoding type on the form.

Answer 1

You need to instantiate your form with request.POST and request.FILES.

form = CarrerApplication(request.POST, request.FILES)

For more information see the docs on binding uploaded files to a form.

Answer 2

It will be cool to do so

form = CarrerApplication((request.POST,request.FILES) or None)
if request.method == 'POST':
     .......
