A lot of time jobs are posted by public entities because they are required
to, but these jobs are more often not promotional or filled from within.

I know my old school district allowed transfers to bid on jobs right up
until the first day of school. The only jobs available to outsiders were
either temporary jobs or jobs nobody wanted, the latter available only
after the school year started.
