Games-Time Positions
Just as the athletic competitions will give a chance for the athletes to compete at their best, the Jet Set Sports operation will be a chance for our staff to perform at their best. The Olympic Games are a fast-paced, complicated and exciting event. Thus, providing services to our guests involves many individuals working together to create a seamless team. Some of our temporary, Games-time positions may include the following:
Hospitality Staff
The Hospitality Suite/Desk, located at the client’s accommodation property, is where guests will convene to inquire about Olympic events, restaurants, shopping, sightseeing, and other types of tourist information. The hospitality staff responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, acting as a concierge, answering questions about local culture and greeting guests.
Host/Hostess (Guide)
A Jet Set Sports Host will be with the guests from early morning until late evening, ensuring that all of their needs are met. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, meeting guests at the airport, escorting them to and from events and answering questions throughout the guests' stay.
Driver
Most of Jet Set Sports' clients will be transported in large luxury motor coaches driven by professional drivers. However, our VIP programs also require a number of drivers who will transport our guests in smaller vehicles. The responsibilities of a driver include: driving and escorting guests to and from the venues and meal functions and being very familiar with event locations and the roads. At the same time, drivers are acting as a host or hostess throughout the guests' stay.
Operations Staff
The entire Jet Set Sports operation would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of a number of operational teams. Staff working in the transportation office will monitor vehicles and transport operations, individuals at the airport will greet guests as they arrive and staff in the ticketing office will assist with organizing the delivery of competition tickets. These are just a few of the operational positions - many of which require enthusiasm and energy more than they do expertise in any particular area.
