In this story, I would like to share every one my Cisco learning path and experience as well as some study guides and tips to help you get your dreamed Cisco certifications
This is an interesting question. Even before my answer reaches its limit, you should know that I am working in engineering right now and it was only a couple of weeks since I had successfully completed my CCNA. Let me make a neutral ground to answer this. It would be just as difficult for a newbie to network as it would be for a CCNA certified guy.

In the U.S, what I have gathered through the articles is that you do not go directly into networks, you stay as a troubleshooter / junior engineer for 1-2 years including training, and then you slowly advance to become a or network administrator . This is what I have read and heard from people who completed their CCNA and are actively seeking work in that field. Also, CCNA itself is pretty small (I know it's hard), it's not all that can get you or anyone onto the networks. There is always so much more to learn that there is never a chance that you can say that "ok CCNA is enough". No, it is not. I would suggest one thing, be open to any IT related challenges, it is not always necessary that with CCNA you will get only routers and switches to handle and troubleshoot,
As a famous saying, hit the iron in hot weather, there is a way to raise your chances of getting online faster, get into an IT job first with your CCNA certification so people will recognize your understanding of networking basics , then during your course of work obtain part of the professional certification or domain specific certification such as security, VoIP, etc. I have heard people say that this method works a lot. Just doing the certification won't help, you have to reapply somewhere and show your experience as well as the certification that could help you.
