Series 57. How is it going to help to get a entry level trader position?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to break into the trading field, preferably prop trading. While I'm doing that I'm planning to get a Series 57 during my free time. Is getting certification will boost up my chance of getting an entry level trader job? What do you guys think about it? Any other suggestions?
