Offer of a job, ideally? (3)
I believe the answer is:
bid
'offer' is the definition.
(bid is a kind of offer)
'of a job ideally?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'BID' is hidden within 'job ideally'.
(Other definitions for bid that I've seen before include "Tender (for work)" , "Propose a payment" , "Try" , "Make offer for 20 Down" , "Take part in auction" .)
