Accessibility,
built in from the start.

CareersMV aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. Finding work should not depend on how you use a computer or a phone, so the rules below apply to every page, including the employer tools.

• Every control can be reached and used with a keyboard, in reading order.
• A “Skip to content” link is the first thing on each page.
• The focused element always has a visible ring, 2px in the primary colour.
• Menus and dialogs move focus inside when they open and give it back when they close; Escape closes them.

• Every form field has a label, and errors are linked to their field and say what to do.
• Icon-only buttons have a name, toggles say whether they are on, and the current page or tab is marked as current.
• Maps are drawn pictures: every pin on a map also appears as text in the list beside it.
• Text that people type, such as names and job titles, is set to read in its own direction, so Dhivehi and other right-to-left text reads correctly.
• Gazette notices in Dhivehi keep their right-to-left layout and are set in a Thaana typeface.

• Text contrast is at least 4.5 to 1 against its background, in the light and the dark theme.
• Pages reflow from a 390px phone to a wide screen without sideways scrolling, and work zoomed to 200%.
• Colour never carries meaning on its own: a closing date in red also says how many days are left.
• Choose light, dark or your system setting from the footer or your account menu.

• Buttons and links you tap are at least 44 by 44 pixels.
• Nothing moves on its own. If your device asks for reduced motion, cards stop lifting on hover.

We would rather tell you than have you find out:

• The site has not yet been tested with people who use screen readers, switch access or voice control every day.
• Attachments that employers upload, such as PDF notices, are shown as they were sent and may not be accessible.
• Listings collected from other sites keep their original wording and layout, including the tables in some Gazette notices. We do not rewrite them.
