Which short course helped you get hired? (San Diego)

I saw that many postings ask for a specific certification. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I would like to use funding if possible. Which ones are overrated?

Check a dozen job postings first. If most ask for the same certificate, it is probably worth it.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
