@A11YProject There ya go: github.com/a11yproject/a1…
@A11YProject I wish I had the positive results of some replies. Usually when I ask about their commitment to a11y, they suddenly develop a stutter. It's always, well we think it's important, sure, but we haven't blah blah blah... #a11y
@A11YProject Certainly, but I think it was mostly just understood as a buzzword in my interview and now I need to actually convince everyone how important it is and what we need to do to improve the accessibility of our website.
@A11YProject I feel like it's helped me with certain applications. To flip it the other way, if a potential employer didn't value a11y then I'd back out.
@A11YProject definitely was a plus for me when i was interviewing for my previous job. might have helped me out in getting my current position... :)
@redcrew @A11YProject I’m learning so much! I think there’s also a big difference when you work on products that are international vs. local. Localization, readability, and accessibility are mandatory. Many US-based products seems to do the bare minimum.
@A11YProject I don't know if it had any effect on getting the job itself, but after I mentioned it during my interview, I ended up getting involved in early efforts on a11y after I started. I now lead the engineering effort for a11y!
@A11YProject No. I've had to sneak in accessibility. Visual design always came above all else, because it's what sells.
@A11YProject I won't hire for either unless there's *at least* an ability to articulate why it's important. Unlikely to hire if there's not a baseline understanding. It's too important to ignore.
@A11YProject Absolutely! Getting to know about a11y in a country that's still not familiar to this is a plus.
@A11YProject In my opinion and experience... no. Clients don't yet get it unless they have a specific accessibility need themselves, personally. One client had a very specific market that would benefit from accessibility, and still chose aesthetic over pragmatic design.
@A11YProject Definitely! I worked as an accessibility analyst part-time during college, and was eventually offered an internship because of my accessibility experience, which turned into a full-time role! I'm still getting contacted by recruiters.
@A11YProject Absolutely. I demonstrated how React components can be made accessible during my onsite interview, and received a blindingly-fast job offer. I’m now dev lead on the design system team. Accessibility knowledge gives you a distinctive edge in a competitive candidate pool.
