Does " land a normal work position" mean "reach a normal work position"?

Context:

Lewinsky also writes that she turned down offers that would have paid her millions in the wake of the scandal but then struggled to land a normal work position. She interviewed for numerous jobs in communications and brand marketing after obtaining a degree from the London School of Economics but prospective employers always found her not quite right for the position, she writes.
