Short answer = yes
Obviously it depends on how competitive the company you're applying to is. For operators who are inundated with applicatons (the majors) you're going to need more than 152 time. For a regional who can't attract enough pilots to operate flights, 152 should be sufficient.
I joined my 135 jet operator and the only thing I'd flown in the last six years was a 172. Gave me some angst as I was about to attend training, but hard work paid off.
Good luck!
