She landed a job as a typist.

Literal

She [topic-は] typist [genitive-の] position [object-を] obtained.

得る (える / うる) is the formal verb for 'gain, obtain, secure' — a level above the casual 手に入れる ('get hold of') and far above the everyday もらう ('receive'). It has a slightly literary or business feel; 職を得る ('secure a position') is a stock collocation in news writing and CVs. Compare with the more colloquial 仕事を見つける ('find a job') or 就職する ('get hired'). The kanji 得 also gives 得意 ('strong suit'), 得点 ('score'), 取得する ('acquire'). タイピスト written as a katakana loanword has a slightly mid-20th-century feel today, since the dedicated occupation has largely vanished with digital office work.
