As others have mentioned, I’m not sure what you mean by “public job.”
I haven’t had a job as a government employee. But I was a government contractor for several years (in the NIOSH laboratory where I was doing my doctoral research), and I had a postdoctoral fellowship for a few years and then was paid partly through an NIH grant to my boss, both at the medical school where I worked as a postdoc. Actually my very first job might have been paid through a government grant, too, as a research assistant at the same medical school as where I had my last job, decades later. 3-4 decades later.
Interaction with the public? Not really. Unless being a supervisor of the clerk receptionists and phlobotomists who drew blood from outpatients (and doing some of that myself) in a hospital clinical laboratory counts. I suppose it does.
