Crossword Genius

Profile of an unfashionable occupation (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outline

'profile' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an unfashionable occupation' is the wordplay.
'an unfashionable' becomes 'out' (I've seen this before).
'occupation' becomes 'line' (synonyms).
'out'+'line'='OUTLINE'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for outline that I've seen before include "Undetailed plan" , "Plan with little detail" , "Preliminary draft" , "Give a rough idea" , "Framework" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
