Job Hunting

Anyone with a cisco job, I was just wondering how you went about your first position?
I'm currently in a helpdesk role and I've been looking at some basic CCNA networking engineer jobs but it seems that you always need so much more. They are asking for you to be experienced with Windows Server, Juniper, VPN's, Active Directory.
I mean maybe you don't have to have qualifications in them all but it's hard to try and gain all of this experience?
I also feel that I've spent all this time on the CCNA if I start to learn a Microsoft cert or something else my Cisco knowledge is gonna slip. On the flip side I think, have I got enough knowledge to go after a job as a network engineer.
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly welcome.
