Should I take the CCNA first?

This might be a little bit of an obvious question but I’ve just finished the ccna courses at a cc back in December. The requirement to even take the first ccna course was net+ and comptia a+. When I finished these courses about a year ago, I put off taking the exams until now. Since I finished the ccna courses already, should I take all of them, a+, net+, and ccna, or should I just jump into the ccna? I want to have a good resume but I have heard mixed reviews on the ROI regarding a+ and net+. I have no work experience so I’m think having them would help me in the job market to get some entry level roles maybe at a help desk but a ccna may be more impactful. What’s your opinion on studying for these exams? Thank you in advance :)
