Pivoting Industries
I am a Sales Manager in the Apparel Industry. I’m pivoting my career into Consumer Packaged Goods, specifically, Health and Beauty Aids and Household Goods. Are there networking groups I can participate in? Podcasts and news forums where I can stay connected to industry insights? I’m working hard to build connections at my target companies on LinkedIn but it is a hard process where many times people do not respond. I welcome any advice so I can best market myself.

Hi there--there are all sorts of networking groups on LinkedIn that you may find helpful--I would also consider going to associations or groups affiliated with Health and Beauty Aids and Household goods and searching via Google--
I also Googled for Conferences on my topics and once I found those, I went to the Faculty list and reached out from there, citing their participation in that program. These conferences often represent a common group and you may find networking opportunities there as well. As most if not all conferences are now virtual, many of those platforms have a "networking room" where you can chat with other people "attending".
Hope this helps!
