Offer of a job, ideally? (3)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
