Apply for the job of president? (5)
'president?' is the definition.
(Russian president Vladimir Putin)
'apply for the job' is the wordplay.
'apply' becomes 'put' (putting is a kind of applying).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the job' becomes 'in' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'put'+'in'='PUTIN'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for putin that I've seen before include "Russian leader" , "powerful leader" , "Russian president" , "Introduce" .)
This clue might be a double definition.
'apply' is the first definition.
(putting in is a kind of applying)
'job of president' is the second definition.
'put in' can be an answer for 'president' (I have seen 'Russian president ' mean 'put in' so perhaps 'president' could also mean 'put in'). I am not certain of the 'job of' bit.
'for the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for put in that I've seen before include "rugby move?" , "Russian leader" , "being asked to bat" , "Insert" , "Submit" .)
