CFA or PMP?

I'm a veteran heading to an MBA business schools<br /> ">M7 program and would like to join a post-mba rotational program in energy; preferably alternatives i.e. SunEdison, PG&E, GE EFS, etc.

My current HQ job is the military's version of Office Space and I have a ton of time to knock out some certifications. Having zero background in finance, do you think it would make me any more competitive for these rotational programs if I earned CFA level 1 or PMP? Which one would you choose? Thanks!
