A model poses for work (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tasks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'work' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs, they are not in the same form of the verb. However, I know that 'work' relates to this answer.

'a model poses' is the wordplay.
'a model' becomes 't' (Ford Model T car).
'poses' becomes 'asks' (as in posing or asking a question).
't'+'asks'='TASKS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tasks that I've seen before include "charges" , "Jobs to be done" , "Pieces of work" , "various jobs" , "'Jobs, undertakings (5)'" .)
