I'm sure everyone is of that belief but I think the practical approach most companies take is hire the person who can produce day one, minute one. While everyone should be able to learn on the job learning takes time and I don't think companies will take that option unless they see a huge potential in you.

During the .com era, experienced talent was so scarce that a lot of companies would hire without really checking references and claimed experience. A lot of them got burned. I don't believe that is true to any significant degree today, at least with larger employers and smaller ones who are on the ball. My former employer (large shipping company based in Memphis), checked references thoroughly and had a pretty significant interview process (telephone and day visit). Hard to bluff your way through if you didn't know what you were talking about.

I'm talking about potential candidates only, obviously if you are not productive nobody is going to keep and pay you..
I agree that practical experience helps to do a better job, but it does not mean that everybody who has experience will do well in their job.
