Post Grad, what certs for beginners

Career Questions & Discussion

I graduated in may a few months ago, I been applying to jobs( all types of CS jobs and no luck) I went to college for computer science major with concentration in cybersecurity. Since job searching isn’t going well I thought I start with compTIA certs. I know network + and security + are the main ones but should I start with A+ , I heard the cons about it price, outdated, waste of time ect. I would appreciate some guidance here since this is technically all new to me I have the bare minimum experience just what I learned in college classes and that’s about it. With that being said should I start with networking + or start with A+? I have minimal knowledge in the space but I’m really going to lock in these next few months. Just would like to know where to start.
