My previous employer has advertised for someone to fill my old job and apparently it's not looking hopeful. They want someone who can hit the ground running but I think it really is a case of what Kay was saying - you have to expect to train people. But the job description was based around my own role (which was based on my own skills) so it's a little difficult! When I applied for my own job(!) only 6 people applied and only 1 other besides myself qualified for an interview.
Unfortunately there is no one there who could train the new person. Being a (Western Australian) State Govt dept they are aware of the need to work to standards and meet accessibility guidelines, however there was only my supervisor and myself in our section and I was the "nuts and bolts" person. Now I am operating my own business with the occasional need to outsource, I'm in the same boat myself. And yes, I don't believe it is possible to say you are meeting web standards if you don't meet accessibility guidelines too. Accessibility is a sub-set of web standards. (And the degree to which you meet them is another story altogether! I think the point is that you do the best within your capabilities. Accessibility is not something to be learned overnight.)
