CV for dossier (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

profile

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

'dossier' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cv for' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'for' is 'rof' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pile' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for profile that I've seen before include "In which one may be photographed" , "Short biographical sketch" , "Side view of face" , "Level of public recognition" , "Sideways view" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
