Weekly Meeting – Friday at 7:30 AM at Knoll Trail Plaza Office Center (16400 N Dallas Pkwy), 5th floor. To get to the 5th floor, use the East-side elevator only. The other elevator does not reach the 5th floor.

History - RENG started in 2002 when the real estate asset managers began to meet weekly to help each other find jobs and network even though they were often competitors. RENG is an outreach ministry of Dallas Real Estate Ministries ( www.drem.org ). Typically, there are approximately 50 active job seekers and over 700 RENG Alumni members. Weekly participants range from 10 to 15 active members. During the last few years, 50 – 60 of our active jobseekers find meaningful employment each year.

Participation - RENG attendees are encouraged to take an active role in weekly meetings by helping others as they help you. Statistically, most new jobs are found through networking. In addition to attending weekly meetings, you are encouraged to participate in the RENG Yahoo Group by posting job leads and calling or meeting with fellow active job seekers. Each week you are asked to bring $1.00 to the RENG meeting which is contributed to a “pot” that is won through a drawing. We supply index cards and ask that you provide your name, phone number and type of work being sought for our drawing.

The roster contains names and contact information for active seekers, alumni and recruiters (who generally receive the weekly update). It is your responsibility to review the roster and verify that the information is accurate.

If you are currently employed and do not want your employer to learn of your search, you may not wish to be included on the roster.

It is used to distribute job leads, links to other websites, regular (daily) articles to assist in your search. We encourage our active and alumni members to post information and leads. Your application for membership requires the approval of the moderator.

Summary - Finding a job is a full-time job and often harder than you expected. RENG consists of volunteers forming an army to assist in networking for job seekers. Success comes from active participation. Jobs are found through diligence and perseverance.
