Entry level Network Operations Center (NOC) with your CCENT or Helpdesk with your A+

Junior jobs are good but in that area, keep applying for jobs that require a clearance. You'll eventually get one to bite and the rates tend to be higher.

I concur, it's rare to see an employer only ask for a CCENT. As a stand alone certification, it's pretty worthless, it's real value is it makes passing the CCNA easier.
