I have to say, my experience was totally different. I recently had quite many job interviews for jobs in which I would mainly be using Java/C#. Because I like D very much, obviously the topic came up in every single interview. Most of the time, I was encouraged to solve the simple programming tasks they gave me in D. I think they were actually quite impressed, both by D itself and the fact that I am interested in such a "niche" language. I believe showing that you are enthusiatic about such things can help you with getting jobs much more than some experience in a language which is "closer" to the language they mainly use. Also I believe that D shares a lot of characteristics with Java and C#, in particular when you do OOP with D. I think you could make a case for the statement, that D is closer to Java than it is to C.
