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

'macho character' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'back in job market' is the wordplay.
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'obmar' is hidden within 'job market'.
'obmar' written backwards gives 'RAMBO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rambo that I've seen before include "Film series, starring Sylvester Stallone" , "Stallone film character" , "Stupidly aggressive type" , "Stallone tough guy" , "Sly feature" .)
