Why Even Post Jobs If They’re Already Filled Internally?

I’ve been working for Nike on and off for about five years now as an ETW. Ironically, with all the recent layoffs, this has actually been the closest thing to career stability I’ve had, especially since the industry I came from is falling apart and jobs are becoming scarcer and more competitive.

Over the years I’ve interviewed for several FTW positions across different departments. Each time I’d make it to the final round, only to see the role go to someone internal, usually another ETW or an FTW already in the department. It’s frustrating because it feels like applying for a job you were never really in the running for.

Lately I’ve noticed a ton of internal promotions popping up, especially in the last couple of weeks, but none of those positions were ever posted publicly. Is it a myth that positions that are essentially promotions have to be open to the public to apply?
