$6 Donation to Help Distribute Suits for Interviews

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.
