New first time credit card

in Credit cards
Hi
Friend of mine, 22 stable job, banks with nationwide, not currently on electoral register, no known adverse credit history, wants to apply for new first credit card to use to build up credit history prior to mortgage application.
Should she get on ER first? Where should she apply that may look favourably on her and may not decline? Getting one and using it sensibly is more important than credit limit/low aprs.
