I am a college student who is about to graduate and I want to be a personal trainer. Which certifications and memberships should I get before applying for a job? Which ones do employers look for the most?

Did you go to school to study health, fitness or sports med?

As far as I know the best certification you can get is NASM. It is probably known as the all around standard cert to get, and I believe that certain gyms favor it over others such as 24 hour fitness. I heard this a while back, so it may not still be the case.
ACSM is good too but focuses a lot on the medical side of things
Another one thats really good is NSCA.
And some honorable mentions: ACE, ISSA.
