Resume Boost

As a recent grad looking to make an industry switch, are there any certifications/exam recommended that recruiters will actually care about? For example, WSO modeling course, taking the SIE, M&A NYIF course, etc. I've heard recruiters don't traditionally care about those, just trying to show I have financial knowledge.
