Opportunities for gaps? (8)
I believe the answer is:
openings
This clue is a double definition.
'opportunities' is the first definition.
(opening is a kind of opportunity)
'for gaps?' is the second definition.
(gap is a kind of opening)
(Other definitions for openings that I've seen before include "Opportunities, for employment say" , "Holes or opportunities" , "Gaps or beginnings" , "Apertures or job vacancies" , "Job opportunities or apertures" .)
