The entry, these days, to a job (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admission

'the entry' is the definition.
(admission is a kind of entry)

'these days to a job' is the wordplay.
'these days' becomes 'AD' (as in Anno Domini, after Christ).
'to a job' becomes 'mission' (a mission is a job or task).
'ad'+'mission'='ADMISSION'

(Other definitions for admission that I've seen before include "concession" , "Permission to enter" , "Letting in - letting out" , "Entree" , "Acknowledgment of the truth of something" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
