THE JOB BANK -

A priest, a minister and a rabbi walk into a bar. The priest says, "My cook just retired. I need to hire a new cook."

The bartender walks over. "Excuse me. I didn't mean to ease drop but I hear you're looking for a cook. Do you see that guy sitting at the other end of the bar, the one with the beer? He recently graduated from culinary school and is looking for work. Why don't you talk to him?" The priest walks over to him. They talk for a few minutes and arrange for an interview.

"Well, that worked out for you! Some guys get all the luck," the minister says. "I've been looking for a new accountant for weeks now and still haven't found someone suitable."

Again, the bartender walks over, apologizing for the intrusion. "See that woman over there sipping a limoncello? The big accounting firm she worked for just laid her off. You should talk to her." The minister goes over and after a quick conversation, he too has an interview appointment.

The rabbi turns to the bartender. "You seem really good at matching folks with jobs. I need some help, as well. You wouldn't happen to know a mohel, would you?" The bartender smiles and picks up a knife.

"Bartending is only my part-time job."

The bartender story summarizes the Job Bank's main goal. The Job Bank matches local businesses and local residents in much the same way the bartender found potential employees for the priest, the minister and the rabbi.
