you can also use like this.

class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
   def send_career_email(user,attachment)
     @user = user
     email='[email protected]'
     attachments['free_book.pdf'] =  open(attachment).read
     mail(:to => email, :subject => "You have been signed up")
   end
 end

Please try this

 class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
   def send_career_email(user,attachment)
     @user = user
     email='[email protected]'
     attachments['free_book.pdf'] = File.read(attachment)
     mail(:to => email, :subject => "You have been signed up")
   end
 end

I Would take a look at the mail gem

then sending an attachment is as simple as 

class CareerMailer < ApplicationMailer
  default :from => '[email protected]'

  def send_career_email(user,attachment)
    Mail.deliver do
      to       "#{user.email.to_s}"
      subject  'You have been signed up'
      body      File.read('body.txt')
      add_file '/full/path/to/somefile.png'
    end
  end
end

I hope that this helps
