I think it will depend on what industry you're in, what position you hold and exactly what you've done while there to determine whether you'd be considered "experienced" or not.
Most likely one year of work experience in a position that is NOT either investment banking or mgt consulting would not give you much of an edge at all.
Need more info to really comment though. |

My job sounds challenging (that's why I choose it), but its really not. We use statistical and economic models to provide "actionable information" to consumer packaged goods manufacturers and retailers. Basically, I plug a bunch of numbers into a standardized model and make a report.
When I was in school I didn't look for a job until well after all the ibanks and consulting firms came to recruit, so I was recruited to my present job. I think I'm as qualified as anyone who would be going through the recruiting process now in terms of undergrad GPA, research work, and experience, but I no longer have access to university recruiting departments.
I'm confident I'd do well in an interview or case study, but now I'm worried that I've missed my chance to even get that interview.
