Land a job or get a job

Hi teachers~

I found an expression 'land a job,' and

I am wondering if 'land a job' and 'get a job' are interchangeable.

I have heard 'get a job' mostly but not 'land a job.'

Thanks in advance~

You "land" a job the way you "land" a fish. The implication is that you went to some trouble and were glad to get it.
