Sort of proprietor who got the job? (6)
I believe the answer is:
landed
'got the job?' is the definition.
'landed' can be an answer for 'got' (landing is a kind of getting). I'm not sure about the 'the job?' bit.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for landed that I've seen before include "Came ashore" , "Set down, came to rest" , "Alighted" , "With grounds" , "Alit; having estates" .)
