Types of entry level job.

I always hear and read about people talking about a NOC job, i would like to know, since it's an entry level job how is this kind of job different from the Help-desk job or what sets it apart from the help-desk role?

Here in NJ (near Philly), I get next to nothing typing NOC and Network Operations into sites like Indeed.
Does anyone have any other key words to use when searching? I try IT and help desk, as well as technical support.
But then again, I think we have all of 3 data centers in the area.
I've seen a few posted in NORTH NJ (near NYC) - but only a few. Other keywords I've used for searching have been "junior cisco", "junior network", "network technician", "network operations technician", "data center network technician" etc to try to catch more entry-level networking positions.

I could be "off" on that assumption, but it seems to hold true. There are cities/areas that have NOC jobs posted frequently (SoCal for example). There are places that dont (Metro Detroit). I've seen jobs similar to a NOC, but not pure NOC.
I just figured for how often people refer to finding a NOC job or looking for a NOC job they must be common elseware...just not here.
But once again, I don't know about south NJ, but I know I see similar jobs every now and then in the Northern NJ/Greater NYC area.
