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
