Do companies, both internally and externally, have any legal obligation to advertise and interview for a new post if there is clearly more than one person interested in applying?

Also, are there any legal guidelines for the use of management development programmes for employees? ie can people simply join if they decide they want to, follow no particular structure and obtain a job at any point (completion is not relevant as there is no structure!) on nothing but the decision of one manager?

Help much appreciated!
Thansk Fengirl. Does this mean that two employees on the same management development programme (neither obviously better than the other) with one receiving obvious favouritism and subsequent promotion is legal and is in fact at the managers discretion?

There is no legal obligation in the UK to advertise any post - unless, for instance its in the voluntary sector and the funder requires it. However, it makes good business sense to advertise and get the best person for the job.
Again management development programmes are an internal issue and not covered by employment law. However, a contract of employment might specify an employee undertaking specific training and that would be binding on both parties.
Internal promotion (which is what you are talking about) is, again, not covered by employment law.
However, if such things as promotion and development programmes are mentioned in staff handbooks, employers should be aware that they may be considered to form part of an employee's terms and conditions of employment and so be legally binding.

I want to go into brand management and work my way into product development, but they both seem to be intertwined. Is this true and if so, how so?

Both are pretty vague and have to do with marketing.

Brand management involves everything to do with a specific brand or family of products. It can include product development for that brand.

Product Development is about developing new products. It's not specific to a brand though it could be.

It depends on the company that you are talking about.

I am wondering about getting a job in servers and I'm just wondering if there are any companies that do server jobs.

Thanks.

A lot of large corporations have private servers that need maintenance. The trick is getting in - you wouldn't typically start there. It helps to be willing to work your way up - evening IT for a single facility, move to days, move to more centralized places, etc.

My skill level is moderate and my location is in the midwest (Indiana).

You should charge a competitive rate. What that is depends on your location, your skill level, and your experience. You don't provide any information, so you won't get much help.
