In a Nutshell

Donations provide business suits for male and female college graduates and veterans who need professional attire for job interviews

The Fine Print

The Issue: First Impressions at Job Interviews

When a candidate walks into a job interview, the first impression certainly counts. “Our brains decide whether a person is attractive and trustworthy within a tenth of a second,” according to research by Princeton University psychologists. To help ensure that an employer gets the best possible first impression, job seekers must dress appropriately, which often requires a business suit or similar professional attire that can be difficult to afford when unemployed.

The Campaign: Donating Suits to Graduates or Veterans

If 30 people donate $6 to this Grassroots campaign, then Save-A-Suit can purchase and distribute 15 suits to male and female college graduates and veterans in need of financial assistance. On average, business suits cost $300 or more. Along with providing unemployed veterans and college graduates with a suit or similar professional outfit, Save-A-Suit provides guidance in their search through career-specific job listings. Additional donations will go toward distributing more business suits.

Save-A-Suit

During a job interview with a recent college graduate in 2010, business professional Scott Sokolowski decided to ask an easy question: “Why aren’t you wearing a suit today?” When the candidate replied honestly, saying simply, “I can’t afford one,” Sokolowski was inspired to help. He established Save-A-Suit, a nonprofit organization dedicated to one simple goal: helping young talent acquire appropriate, professional business attire for job interviews. Though these efforts are typically geared toward recent male and female college graduates who are often in their early 20s, Save-A-Suit also works with veterans of all ages to help them arrive at interviews dressed professionally.

The Groupon Guide to: Getting to the Head of the Class

It's a proven fact that people who do well in school are more likely to rise to the top of competitive job markets and prison hierarchies. Here are some tips for becoming the cream of the academic crop:

Bring Your Teacher an Apple: Teachers are notoriously starved for potassium because they're so busy teaching everyone else that they don’t have time to teach themselves about nutrition.

Answer Every Question: Teachers don't know the answers to anything, which is why they have to ask their students. Help out the people who were so busy teaching that they never had time to learn.

Watch TV Instead of Doing Your Homework: Teachers are so busy teaching that they have no time to watch TV. You're the only one who will be able to fill them in on the hilarious happenings during the most recent episode of I'd Like to File a Complaint—About My Wife!

Is your child's teacher potassium deficient? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
