Do the NOC employment requirements matter so long as I get the job?

[mapomax]

A lot of the NOC job titles I looked up have requirements such as "Previous retail sales experience as a retail salesperson or sales clerk, cashier, telemarketer, door-to-door salesperson or rental agent is required" or "Completion of a one- or two-year college or other program for secretaries or Previous clerical experience is required." If I manage to get the job without the degree or experience stated on the NOC website will it still qualify under the Canadian experience class? I ask this because my degree doesn't lead into any specific field so would it matter if on the website it states that "a degree in Business is required" for a managerial position but I get a job fulfilling most of the duties with a Bachelor of Arts?

As long as the job is skilled at A, B or O, it is fine. You must perform a majority of the duties in the NOC lead statement though.
