Offer of a job, I dare say (3)
I believe the answer is:
bid
'offer' is the definition.
('bid' can be a synonym of 'offer')
'of a job i dare say' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BID' is hidden in the letters of 'job i dare say'.
(Other definitions for bid that I've seen before include "Try" , "Tender (for work)" , "Offer (for); demand" , "Attempt, offer" , "Propose a payment" .)
