Oxford gives,
sadly, it is all o only too true = desgraciadamente, no es sino la verdad; I know that all o only too well = eso bien que lo sé; all o only too often = muy a menudo, con mucha frecuencia See English here, http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/know+only+too+well

I'd just say,
Estoy muy contento de conseguir el trabajo. Or Me encanta haber conseguido el trabajo. Me alegro mucho de haber conseguido el trabajo.
