Job gives one options to play around with? (8)
I believe the answer is:
position
'job' is the definition.
(I know that position is a type of job)
'one options to play around with?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'options' is 'postion' which is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'gives' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for position that I've seen before include "Spot" , "Put" , "Place or perspective" , "Rank" , "Location or attitude" .)
