Job for a fellow named Pat (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

postman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'named pat' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'job for a fellow' is the wordplay.
'job' becomes 'post' (post is a kind of job).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a fellow' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before).
'post'+'man'='POSTMAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for postman that I've seen before include "one delivers" , "Letter deliverer" , "Mail deliverer" , "Chap with letters" , "No stamp needed, stangely, for this job" .)
