Job found here, modest talent developed (3,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

old testament

'job found here' is the definition.
(Job is a character in the Old Testament)

'modest talent developed' is the wordplay.
'developed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'modest'+'talent'='modesttalent'
'modesttalent' is an anagram of 'OLD TESTAMENT'.

(Other definitions for old testament that I've seen before include "religious work" , "Job, for example, to be found here" , "Books" , "First part of the Bible" , "Modest talent (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
