Wasn't a go-getter (5)
I believe the answer is:
idled
'wasn't a go-getter' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for idled that I've seen before include "not worked" , "Spent time doing nothing" , "Loafed, lazed about" , "Lazed around" , "Was lazy" .)
