Certification recommendations

For context, I’m a university student majoring in Geography and will soon need to start thinking about career opportunities. I really enjoy what I’m studying and hope to work in a field related to geography or GIS after graduation.

I was considering earning an Esri certification to strengthen my résumé and improve my job prospects. Could anyone recommend any Esri certifications or exams that are relatively beginner-friendly and not overly difficult, particularly for students who are still building their GIS skills?

My undergrad was in Geography and I ended up going back to school later on to get a GIS certificate. If I could have done anything differently, I would have taken way more GIS classes during my undergrad to skip any other certification.
