Abstract: In a 2 (gender) X 2 (orientation) X 2 (occupation) design, participants evaluated a cover letter/resume and completed a sex role inventory. Findings revealed perceptions of gender were influenced only by orientation; gay applicants were rated more masculine, while straight applicants were more feminine. A gender X job interaction indicated female secretaries more feminine and male plumbers more masculine.
