Why are the Freemasons forbidden to talk about Jesus?
I know more than a few Masons, and I have read most of John Salza's books. You will receive different answers to your questions depending on how high up in the ranks the Mason is and whether he is pro-Mason, or has discovered the truth.
John Salza was a very high ranking Mason, who is Catholic. Many of the Masons are Protestants or Catholics who don't realize the Church's teaching on these societies. Modern day Masonry allows a newcomer to their "religion" (which is what it actually is) to take their oaths on ANY holy book - the Bible, the Korean, etc. It is only when you get in the upper echelons that you realise that Masonry is, at best, Deistic, and that it has been explicitly forbidden by nearly every pope for hundreds of years, primarily because at its heart it is an anti-Christian faith which asks people to make oaths and such which while Deistic are anti-Christian - although not outwardly. The upper echelons of Freemasonry must be taken on the Koran.
You would need to be very knowledgeable about Christianity to immediately see the warning signs. For anyone seriously interested in this, I would recommend Joh Salza's books, which may be profitably read by any Christian, even though they are written from a Catholic perspective:

Did the Freemasons help with the cover up of John F. Kennedy's murder?
No, we may have sunk the SS. Andrea Doria1 but we didn't cover up JFK's assassination. Bad movies aside, it's pretty clear that Lee Harvey Oswald murdered Kennedy.
1 Or it may have been the M/V Stockholm. Usually the simplest explanation is correct and there is no need to attribute a tragedy to some dark conspiracy.
Conspiracy theories abound, and I don't think we'll ever really know the whole truth.I have decided further speculation on this topic would be a fruitless waste of time.The key figures are dead or soon to be dead , so soon there will be no one left to tell us the truth.
Freemasons have jobs like any other people: Garbagemen, University Professors, Astronauts, Clergymen, Insurance Adjusters, Computer Programmers, Walmart Greeters, you name it.
Or perhaps you are asking what kinds of jobs there are within the Lodge. Generally someone has to mind the door to see that nobody disturbs the meeting. There is generally someone taking notes for minutes. There is a Master who runs the meeting and a couple of Wardens to assist him. Other jobs in the Lodge differ from place to place.

Why is it wrong to be a Master Mason?
Some churches and other religious groups have sometimes told their members that it is wrong to be a Freemason (of which Master Mason is one degree). Most often these views are based on misinformation or misunderstandings of what Masons stand for, or what their symbolism means. A religious group which opposes socializing with members of other religions or tolerating their presence will find itself opposed to Freemasonry's adherence to religious tolerance. This is probably the only legitimate reason for a church to oppose Freemasonry for its members.
Freemasonry is a purely voluntary organization (that's what the "free" part means) and any member who feels that he disagrees with the purposes, teachings or actions of the organization is free to quit at any time. Very very few members quit for this reason.

Yes. Isaac Brock WAS a Freemason, as suggested by his famous encounter with a Jew in 1813, as narrated by a soldier: "We saw our commander. Brock he was. A Jew he encountered. A greeting they did profess, such as that of the Freemasons. We wondered at this, and a caller called, 'O Isaac! Are you among them?' And he our leader replied, 'Verily I am, but speak little of this'. That's from my family's oral tradition, so I had to give that - first time published.
