About
Nicole Amare is a scholar in business and technical communication whose work critically examines the intersection of rhetoric, ethics, and technology. Her key research areas include professional writing, résumé rhetoric, and the ethical implications of automated hiring practices. In her most-cited paper, "Writing for the Robot: How Employer Search Tools Have Influenced Résumé Rhetoric and Ethics" (2008, 18 citations), Amare offers a pioneering analysis of how searchbots—automated tools used by employers to scan résumés—have reshaped job application rhetoric. She challenges the conventional advice to keyword-stuff résumés, arguing that such practices raise ethical concerns about authenticity and fairness. This work has influenced business communication pedagogy and sparked broader discussions about algorithmic gatekeeping in hiring. Amare’s contributions highlight the need for ethical awareness in professional writing, making her a vital voice for students and researchers navigating the evolving landscape of digital rhetoric and employment.
