To build credit you must use it.  With time develop a good mix of credit ( 2 or 3 credit cards, car loan or car lease, line of credit ).  Make all payments on time and always keep your card balances below 30% of their limits at all times.  Good Luck.

There are recommendations under each element of your credit report card. Try those recommendations.

creditcards.com is a great place to shop around for a credit card.  They have a place that you can enter in your information and it will provide credit card offers you are most likely to be accepted for.  Plus you can compare apples to apples, see the APR, the Annual Fee, and such together.
