"Jet Set Sports is THE company to work for if you want to work the Olympics. They take care of their employees and have professional & experienced management.
Jet Set Sports truly cares about the overall Olympic experience and offer a high-end, quality product to their clients that I was proud to support. Overall - my first year as an Olympic Program Manager with them was one I'll never forget, and I look forward to working many more!"

“Working at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics was by far the most challenging task I have ever undertaken, it was also the most rewarding. Jet Set Sports' dedication to client satisfaction through intense planning, attention to detail, and teamwork is unsurpassed. Everyday was unique, exhausting, and a test of one's ability. However, the friends I made and the experiences I gained fully eclipsed all the hardships. Taking part in the Olympic experience with JSS is the opportunity of a lifetime...don't pass it up.“

“I had the most amazing time of my life and have met people who have become dear friends forever. I will always look back on my Jet Set Sports experience with fond memories and great gratitude for the adventure that I was asked to be a part of. I cannot thank them enough!”

“Working with Jet Set was a phenomenal experience. Jet Set 'gets it' unlike any other Olympic hospitality provider. I saw firsthand that the hard work and attention to detail behind the scenes that Jet Set prides itself on makes such a memorable experience for our clients AND for the onsite staff....I look forward to working with them again. “

"I was extremely pleased with my Olympic Games experience. Not only was being back in Athens an inspiring experience for me, but working with Jet Set Sports made the whole thing. I enjoyed working very, very hard [and] although I was so tired sometimes, I didn't know if I could go on (just like they told us in training and I didn't believe them), it really was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. Most importantly, I made friendships I hope to keep for a long time, and for those people I may never see again, they still have impacted my life. Thank you Jet Set!"

"Working with CoSport was definitely one of the most memorable experiences of my life so far. The vibrant energy and team skills of the Jet Set/CoSport members and staff made me feel like I was a part of a family, not a company. Every single day was an adventure which ended with my body feeling exhausted, my spirit being re-energized and my mind eagerly anticipating the next day. It is one of those situations that you cannot explain, you just have to experience it for yourself!"

"Working with a company with the high standards and professionalism of JSS, just completes the most exciting and enriching experience that I have had in such a short time in my whole life."

"An amazing opportunity- the access Jet Set and CoSport provide their employees was completely unexpected. I went wanting to simply work at the Olympic Games- for that basic experience- and came away with a job that allowed me to not only meet great staff and clients, but also to see the Olympic Games in a way that I do not know I will ever be able to replicate. Fun, enjoyable, utterly exhausting, but well worth the effort."

"During the interview process Jet Set sold the job by emphasizing that during the 26-day Olympic Games period we would work extra, extra-long days, not sleep, not be able to tell monday from sunday but instead know the day of the week only by number because weekends disappear AND by the end....MISS IT ALL. It all came true. Work ended on a Tuesday. I woke up at 800 am on Wednesday morning--with a smile from ear to ear for having 'slept-in' and didn't know what to do--I felt completely empty because it was all over with and Jet Set was right..I did miss it."

"Most of my enthusiasm for Jet Set comes from the people I was able to work with. When you said you only hire the best -- you mean it! I've never been around so many quality, dedicated, professional but yet totally fun people in my life. The Jet Set people were the reason I was able to work 16-20 hours a day and keep a smile on my face. I'll always remember the Games, but I'll definitely never forget the awesome team of people I worked with."

"AMAZING! I was overwhelmed. When my friend told me about Jet Set, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, even after my first two interviews, I still really didn't understand what kind of experience I was in for. Looking back, I couldn't have asked for a more rewarding and exciting experience. The things I saw, the people I met, the friends I made, and what I was able to be a part of will never be forgotten."

"Jet Set Sports is best at what they do and they know how to do it. The management is professional and the organization is very thorough and very precise. They keep everyone happy from staff, clients, guests, and friends. The work is demanding but well worth the experience. Jet Set has made my Olympic Games experience unforgettable. I hold the company and it's affiliates in highest regards."

"Concerts, fine dining, parties, and of course the best athletes in the world competing in the most awe inspiring events. I promise there is no better Olympic Games experience in the world. However, be fore warned, you will be challenged. If ever there was a job that helps a person to learn about him/herself, this is it. I was challenged in ways that I have never been before. Whether it was giving up my jacket and gloves at a freezing venue, or just carrying on an intelligent conversation with a guest having not slept in 20 hours, I truly learned things about myself that will serve me the rest of my life. I would recommend this job to anyone who is truly striving to be the best person he/she can because if you are willing, you can take far more away from the Olympic Games than the best memories of your life."

"I only get a moment? I could write a novel! The Jet Set Experience is indescribable, irreplaceable, and unimaginable. To anyone deciding whether to do it: DO IT!!! The hours are long, the work is tough, and the rewards are immense. To be there in the heart of the excitement in my own hometown is an unforgettable experience. The whole town just pulsed with energy, and Jet Set let me be a part of it. Thank You!"

"There is no better company to work for during the Olympic Games than Jet Set Sports. I have never been involved with a company that is equally caring to its staff as it is with its clients. The Olympic Games were a once in a lifetime opportunity, and being involved with Jet Set exceeded all expectations I ever had about my Olympic Games experience. There have been and will be experiences throughout my entire life that will have particular significance and this definitely will be on my top five list. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Everyone claims that the Olympic Games experience is life altering. That is an understatement, but without the experience a concept no one can understand. The JSS employment was one of those rare "too good to be true" opportunities that was true. The benefits are too numerous to list, but the highlight is a personal Olympic Games experience with the chance to meet and work with a diverse group of people. Unlike other groups, these people all shared the same universe and goals for 4 weeks. It was an unbelievable opportunity to bond with people that my normal life never allows. I worked hard, slept little, made many friends, and had an un-measurable amount of fun. Even a few days later the whole experience seemed like a fantasy."
Ryan Luedke

"The Jet Set experience is one that cannot be duplicated. With the Olympic Games, there is absolutely no other experience even remotely close to the 26 days of drama, adrenaline, and memories that an Olympic Games contains. Jet Set makes you a better worker by providing you with the proper environment to succeed. With Jet Set, I became a better communicator, a better public speaker, and I was paid to participate in an Olympic Games. I would have done it for free! I certainly did not want the Games to end; and I yearn to wake up tomorrow at an Olympic Games venue."
Alex Wixted

"With several other Olympic Games employment opportunities on the table, I went with Jet Set Sports in anticipation of an experience I knew I just couldn't find working for anyone else. I was right. Packed between two unforgettable ceremonies were countless experiences of a lifetime: Watching the Olympic Games flame brought into the stadium, cheering on world class athletes and feeling the elation of victory and agony of defeat as they gave their all, meeting incredible people from all over the world, and truly living the ultimate Olympic Games experience through my employment with a company who treats their employees better than any I have worked with before. Every day was like dreaming with my eyes open! It was, simply said, an experience of a lifetime."

"Working for Jet Set Sports at the 2000 Olympic Games was the highest moment in my life. Here it was in my home city and I was going to be showing it off. Everyday was a new experience which was exciting and fun. The people I met and the peers I worked with were some of the most amazing people I will ever meet. The day-to-day movements were organized and gave me time to enjoy the atmosphere which was electric. I know that I experienced things that so few others did - people, places, clients, athletes, events, parties and friendships…… it was more than I ever could have imagined. Jet Set is the best organization to be with at such a major event like the Olympic Games. Whenever I think back to my Olympic Games experience I do so with a huge smile, a little laugh, wonderful memories and a BIG THANK YOU to Jet Set Sports."

"Words are hard to come by to explain how enjoyable it was to be involved with Jet Set Sports. Sead and the rest of the management team were so much fun to work with….happy faces….nothing posed too much of a problem. I'm just glad to have been able in some small way to assist your fantastic operation. I worked with a happy, fun loving crew who worked hard under pressure. From the bottom of my heart, thank-you! If I could be of assistance again I wouldn't hesitate. I love the memories of my time with you guys."
