    The usual advice for the first credit card is to apply to the bank she has her current account with.

    Does she have a clear understanding what she needs a credit card for? For a weak-willed person that is 'always in her overdraft' a credit card is more than likely to be a way of slipping deeper into a new expensive debt that finaly will be very difficult to manage.
