1. You may get an entry level job that may have nothing to do with Cisco. 1. you have no experience. 2. What you learn in school and what the real world is like are totally different. Nonetheless, get in entry level and don't expect a Networking position because you are certified. Work and learn and when the time comes you can slide into a position because you have the experience and trust of management. It is good to go for, but don't expect the world.
2. You can get a job in network management and implementation ,or in optimize network performance. So you can become a network administrator or a systems integration engineer,and you can become a sales, too
