Should I go on a certification path?

I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in CS from a university. I wasn’t able to land an internship whatsoever during those college years. I barely have any experience except a commissioned job from a client for a Senior Project. Big school projects doesnt really hold any weight these days from what I heard.

I was thinking of getting a CompTIA A+ or Google Project Management Certificate but I heard that experience is way more valuable than a certificate lmao. And I know that a certificate doesn’t even help you out most of the times from what I read from other people’s experiences.

I just don’t know what to do right now and what my best path would be. Currently looking for jobs of course but with little to no luck.

Will any certificates help me out whatsoever in landing a job? Whether that’s making me stand out more or whatever. I need guidance. I’m a citizen of the United States if that’s relevant to the discussion.

Thank you
