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: Where Babies Come From

Having “the talk” with your child can be awkward—especially if your child is still too young to understand the nuances of human reproduction or, worse, is a giggler. Postpone the difficult conversation a few more months with one of these classic explanations about where babies come from:

  • Babies are dropped down the chimney by storks who swoop down and steal them from other families.
  • Babies are hatched from the cabbage patch, so if you think about it, eating vegetables is essentially cannibalism.
  • Babies are assembled at the hospital and wrapped tightly in a blanket until all the glue is dry.
  • When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much, their psychic harmonics produce an cytoplasmic egg that must be kept in a dark closet for nine months.
  • Babies are an invention of the celebrity-obsessed media to sell magazine covers of pregnant starlets.

Is it time to tell your kids the truth about where babies come from? Learn how with today's Groupon Guide.
