re: It was one of those jobs that (take,takes)...
 
I look at it this way: I'd say one of those jobs that takes  because it seems
to me that the subject of take/takes is one. If take agrees with jobs, then we
have the object of a preposition serving as the subject, and that does not
seem right to me. It was is complete as a main clause, is it not?
