How do you switch domains / industries?

Question

In software development, it seems that many domains and industries prefer to hire people who have professional experience in that industry. In one particular case, I saw a job listing that strongly preferred people who had worked at a small set of competitor companies.How does a developer manage to switch to a domain or industry completely outside their experience?

It is easy to switch domain. You simply need to learn skill and do a project on it and show that result in the interview.Right now dropshipping is a new skill you can switch by learning its softwares. See this to learn few of them - https://www.howtobuysaas.com/blog/software-for-dropshipping/

I switched to Investment Banking when they where looking for Java people 20 years ago.
So this was a case of the demand for a tech skill outwaying the supply and therefore the banks didn't get to be too choosey.
So perhaps one way to switch would be to learn a tech skill and use that as leverage. i.e. Rust to get into blokchain/crypto.
Julia to get into Bigdata, AI and ML.
Kubernetes to get into DevOps/CI-CD etc.
