Chances are that the people at the recruiting tables are not going to be making the hiring decision, but if your demo knocks their socks off they will probably put a few gold stars on your resume.
In my experience, the hiring managers have blinders on. If the director says FCP, then they are absolutely blind to any other experience. They will hire a kid right out of High School with one FCP project under their belt but never even give a Vegas editor with 20-years experience and some feature film experience a second look.
