Dressing in a suit to find employment (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

situation

'employment' is the definition.
(situation is a kind of employment)

'dressing in a suit to' is the wordplay.
'dressing' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'a'+'suit'+'to'='inasuitto'
'inasuitto' anagrammed gives 'SITUATION'.

'find' is the link.

(Other definitions for situation that I've seen before include "Placement" , "Location; job" , "See 6" , "State of affairs -- job" , "State, condition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
