from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
import unittest, time, re

class CGBrowseJobs(unittest.TestCase):
 def setUp(self):
    self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
    self.driver.implicitly_wait(30)
    self.base_url = "http://www.ionface.com/"
    self.verificationErrors = []

 def test_c_g_browse_jobs(self):
    driver = self.driver
    driver.get(self.base_url + "/")
    driver.find_element_by_link_text("Career Grab").click()
    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Browse Jobs']/@href").click()


 def is_element_present(self, how, what):
    try: self.driver.find_element(by=how, value=what)
    except NoSuchElementException, e: return False
    return True

 def tearDown(self):

You have included the @href attribute in your XPath, use this instead:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Browse Jobs']").click()

Selenium does not need to be given a link directly (like using the @href attribute). Give it an entire element and let it pick out the URL for you.
