Turbo jet operating rpm(s)...

When a turbo jet engine on, say, a Lockheed C-130 is running while flight does the engine always run at max rpm with the pitch of the prop controlling the speed of the aircraft? Somewhere I was given the impression that turbo jet engines do not change rpm to change air speed.
