A place to get a job (8)
I believe the answer is:
position
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'a place' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'a job' is the second definition.
(position is a kind of job)
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for position that I've seen before include "brew" , "Place - standing" , "Spot" , "Attitude, job" , "status" .)
