No, I think it is little bit different.

"Most people think they will get a job and then will become experts after some time of performing the job"

And they are right. But they are mistaken what kind of expert they become -- they are becoming experts at what they are doing which means, if they are mindlessly repeating same things they are becoming experts at mindlessly repeating same things.
