Answer it first, then compare. Nothing here is saved or scored.
Model answer
Discuss using tools (axe-core, Lighthouse, screen readers like NVDA/VoiceOver), following WCAG guidelines, including accessibility in acceptance criteria, and testing with keyboard-only navigation. Mention the business case: legal compliance, broader user reach. Strong answers show personal commitment to inclusivity beyond just checking boxes.
What interviewers listen for
- OwnershipYou name what you personally did, not what "the team" did.
- CalibrationYou can articulate when you escalated, and when you absorbed the issue without escalating.
- Influence without authorityYou moved a developer or a PM by sharing data, not by pulling rank.
