It is more a test of professionalism and attention to detail than it is about the time that you have in your logbook. Do you have an attention to detail and log by the flight, and have a good logbook that is well maintained? At the end of the day, in this hiring environment, you will still get hired with either most likely.
As far as the FAA is concerned, it has to be by flight (FAR 61.51). But, you only need to log time to show proficiency and/or for a rating or certificate. There is no FAA requirement to log every hour flown. Entering flights by day is not FAA authorized, however.
