Understanding the job description

I am currently working on the CCNA and I get emails about jobs multiple times a week that are all pretty similar. It's a network services/support position. I assume it's some sort of position in the NOC.

I understand the CCNA part. What do they mean by "Expert Required". What makes you an expert? What makes you intermediate? It seems so generic to me. Thoughts?

Usually when the ask for expert they mean someone who knows enough that they don't have to stop to learn it or ask someone all the time. For this it doesn't look so much a Cisco expert but more of a networking expert or knowing how to troubleshoot network problems quickly. Apply, the worst they can say is no.

Yeah once I get the CCNA I'm going to try and get my foot in the door at a job probably similar to this.
