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

For example, I'm only too pleased I got the job.

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.
