Furnished, or provided, with a job (9)
I believe the answer is:
appointed
'furnished' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appointed that I've seen before include "Designated" , "Furnished" , "Selected for a job" , "Nominated to a position" , "Assigned to a position" .)
