Focusing on those very categories most likely to be of interest to the job seeker, CardRatings.com has put together a list of the best credit cards.
Two that were highlighted for specific help were the Blue Cash Everyday Card from American Express for its 2 percent cash-back offering at department stores, and the PenFed Platinum Cash Back Rewards Card, chosen as having the best offers for filling tanks of gas.
