Outline professional record (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

profile

'outline' is the definition.
(I know that profile is a type of outline)

'professional record' is the wordplay.
'professional' becomes 'pro' (abbreviation).
'record' becomes 'file' (file is a kind of record).
'pro'+'file'='PROFILE'

(Other definitions for profile that I've seen before include "image" , "Side view of face" , "View from one side" , "Short biographical sketch" , "Level of public recognition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
