SINGAPORE: A personalised butler service, access to exclusive areas and a private check-in lobby – are just some of the perks that VIP guests at Marina Bay Sands can expect when the integrated resort opens next year.

The company is looking to hire more staff to provide more support to these services.

When Marina Bay Sands opens its doors in 2010, VIP guests will include celebrities, heads of state, and royalty.

Christine Kaelbel-Sheares, grand-daughter to former president Benjamin Sheares, is no stranger to hosting the likes of the rich and famous.

"My family did a lot of entertaining. And I used to watch all these events that they did. They were so seamlessly executed. I thought every event would be like this. So I would tell my family, I told my parents, I said 'I can do this'," said Christine Kaelbel-Sheares, director of Paiza, VIP Food & Beverage, Marina Bay Sands Singapore.

Under her watch, guests will enjoy privileged access to exclusive areas, special transport arrangements and passes to concerts, musicals and special events.

Marina Bay Sands said hundreds of staff will be employed to support this VIP service, and it is hoping to fill some of those positions at an upcoming job fair on November 19 and 20.

Hotel operations jobs will form the bulk of the vacancies at this job fair. Some 3,000 jobs will be available - consisting of 82 different job types, including security officers, waitresses and front desk officers.

The company said it has already filled thousands of roles in the dealing department and is ramping up recruitment of rank and file staff.
