I actually did the 65 right after I graduated while I was looking for jobs (mainly because I was helping out at my brother's RIA to keep busy). Honestly, I didn't think it helped much during applications/interviews, as it rarely came up and is only really applicable for wealth management, while I was looking for more investment banking/Asset Management positions.
That being said, I don't see how it can hurt if you are interested in doing wealth management/investment advisory and would need it for the positions you are searching for. I just wouldn't count on it boosting your profile as most jobs that require it expect you to be able to pick up the required Series XX licenses within a set timeframe once you start the job
?
It's definitely not going to hurt you, but don't think it will help too much to be honest...if they want to hire you, they'll help you get those licenses. Frankly both of those, and also the 7, are pretty easy to pass so I don't think they'd make a big deal out of it either way.
