postwar

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

've day?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'job with head of alsace resistance' is the wordplay.
'job' becomes 'post' (post is a kind of job).
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'alsace resistance' is 'ar'.
'post'+'w'+'ar'='POSTWAR'

'after' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for postwar that I've seen before include "Occurring after an armed conflict" , "after 1918" , "Since 1945" , "since the last delivery from Germany" .)
