I am an ICT Network Manager and I look for the A+ and N+ when employing a new technician. If I decide to employ somebody without these qualifications I put them on a course.
The A+ and N+ are good entry level qualification that will prepare you for the CCNA.
CompTIA A+ certification validates the knowledge and skills of entry-level computer service technicians. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification recognized by major hardware and software vendors, distributors and resellers. CompTIA A+ confirms a technician's ability to perform tasks such as installation, configuration, diagnosing, preventive maintenance and basic networking.

I'm sure that it does help to have it. Note that it doesn't gaurantee you a job. When I was 19 I got my A+ through CompTIA. However not having any prior technology jobs and being young hurt me a lot. I was not able to get a job in IT. I ended up going back to school for a degree in telecommunications which is similar to IT, but phone equipment instead. Telecom pays good, I'm making quite a bit more money than I would have if I found an IT job. Anyway it would probably help to have A+ and a 2yr degree in a related field, then some MS cerfificates would help too. Then you're doing good.

The A+ cert is the most basic for people who want to go into the tech support field of IT. I've known people to get those jobs without the cert, but it certainly does help.
