I don't think the two-year's CS experience is a must, as long as you can demonstrate you've had to communicate and deal with people. For example, my background is primary education and I have attended FI for Etihad - Decided to hang on and wait for Emirates in the end, but in both cases, the recruiters explained that it would be okay for me to think of situations where my students were customers/clients in the Final Interview, for example, "tell me about a time you've had to deal with a difficult customer" - I was able to take an example from school.. As long as you can demonstrate how its relevant to the role and paint yourself in a good light, I think ANY experience is worth highlighting. I also used examples of group presentations/written assignments form University to highlight my team-work skills. Just think outside the box a little and you'll sail through!
