Cumberland County Schools Providing Students With Unique Career Fair
Let me begin with, a big Beasley Media Fayetteville high-five to the Cumberland County School System. On Friday, February 9, Cumberland County Schools will have a Career Fair for students.
The purpose of this event is to proudly show students the many careers that are available right here in Fayetteville and in Cumberland County.
The Career Fair will be for students who are currently in grades 8 through 12 and will be held in the Crown Expo Center from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Considering that every student in grades 8-12 will be attending the Career Fair, Cumberland County Schools is encouraging anyone who owns a business along with all post-secondary institutions to take advantage of this opportunity and use this event to recruit students into future careers. For students attending this Career Fair, let me encourage you to step out of your comfort zone.Ā Now, what does this mean?Ā This might mean sticking your hand out and meeting someone that you don’t already know.Ā Trust me, I understand how stressful meeting strange people may be.Ā Just do it anyway.Ā Extend your hand, give a firm handshake, give a smile and introduce yourself.Ā You never know where this chance meeting might lead years down the road.Ā Here is a little tip for you.Ā Stand in front of a mirror and practice introducing yourself.Ā Yes, this will feel uncomfortable but I can promise it will help immensely during the Career Fair.

Top Items to Kick Off This Year's Decluttering
Bathroom Declutter
Expired items take the lead on their bathroom decluttering agenda. This includes makeup that has expired or is no longer used, along with medicines and prescriptions that have reached their expiration date or are no longer necessary. Additionally, items like dried-out nail polish, skincare products, and makeup samples are on their bathroom declutter list.

Bedroom Declutter
Paper clutter tops the list for decluttering the bedroom, followed by books that won’t be revisited and old magazines. It’s perfectly fine to part ways with these items, especially if they’ve been sitting around gathering dust. You can even opt for something digital instead of having paper as your go-to.

Closet Declutter
A common decluttering challenge we all face is the overflowing closet. According to The Spruce, the first step is to address clothes that no longer fit. They also advise getting rid of items that haven’t been worn in over nine months.

Kitchen Declutter
When it comes to your kitchen, duplicate kitchen tools take precedence on their decluttering list. This includes items like extra vegetable peelers, bottle openers, and garlic presses. They also recommend getting rid of appliances that you use only once a year or less. Yes, even if it’s that toaster oven collecting dust on your counter.
