AB  - Abstract
Research shows that genders are affected differently by length and word choices in job descriptions. Additionally, research exhibits the existence of a gender confidence gap where women tend to not apply unless they are 100% qualified for the job. Our hypothesis was that women not familiar with the jargon on a job description will not feel completely qualified and be less interested in applying. To investigate this potential unconscious gender bias further, an experiment was performed where people viewed three Navy job descriptions in their respective STEM fields and asked their level of interest. This paper will show that women who do not have a background in the jargon are less likely to apply on jargon filled, STEM job descriptions than men. Conversely, when women have a background with the jargon, this paper will show that these women have a higher interest in the jargon-filled job advertisements than men do.
