'resolved talk' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'job uncertainty' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'job' could be 'work' (synonyms) and 'work' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.
