That's simply not true.

Case in point:  I worked as a system administrator and systems engineer 
for years.  Then I moved into technical training and education.  I had no 
formal background in technical training, course development, etc.  So I 
talked to people in that line of work before moving into it to see if it 
was something I might be good at.

I got insight without getting the job.

Similarly, I've never been a software engineer before, but I've gotten 
insight into how things like SCRUM and Agile work by talking to people 
who use them on a daily basis.  Again, no job, but insight.
