Experience in IT at all is excellent – many people start with desktop support or pulling cables/rack&stack for network gear. I’ve done time in the “trenches” supporting desktops and while it isn’t fun, it teaches you a lot of troubleshooting fundamentals, lots of processes and down the line when you’re the senior network guy, you better know what questions to ask the desktop guy when they’re reporting a problem!!
A certification alone won’t get you a job – it’s just a piece of paper saying Cisco thinks you’re at a certain level with your technical knowledge. Getting the job is up to you! Best of luck finding a break, sounds like you’re eager to get into some routers!

You can also look into apprenticeships or internships – offer your services for lower cost/free to non-profits or the like – somewhere where help is always welcomed. You can also check college IT desktop support or a place where learning is centric to the environment – they are often very forgiving on the learning curve – moreso than a fast paced corporate environment where results are tantamount.

You may look into the Cisco Learning Network Job Portal for possible career opportunities.

The Job portal is a great addition to the site, hopefully it will cover other countries in the future. There’s no results for Singapore, so I guess I’ll stick to my local job portals for now.

That is a rhetorical situation isn’t it. Trying to find a job without experience and trying to get experience without a job. You have to break the cycle. Others have and you will too. Unfortunately, we have to be flexible in our approach when new to a field or area of interest. Take opportunities as they present themselves. Also, document what you do to some degree. That will help you quantify on a go forward basis as you find more appealing opportunities.
