Some leading practices when using a link on a career site are:

Populate the title text for each link.This will provide additional information about the link when the user hovers over it, and also improve the accessibility for screen readers and search engines1.

If blue text is used on the site, ensure that it’s always used to represent links.This will create a consistent visual cue for the users to identify the links and avoid confusion2.

When a user clicks on the link, immediately display what the user expects to see.This will enhance the user experience and satisfaction by reducing the loading time and providing relevant content3.

The other options are not leading practices when using a link on a career site:

Include multiple links to the customer’s corporate site.This will distract the user from the main purpose of the career site, which is to apply for jobs, and also create a cluttered and confusing layout4.

All external links from the career site should open in the same browser window. This will interrupt the user’s browsing flow and make it harder for them to return to the career site.It is better to open external links in a new browser tab or window5.
