If you're just starting eve, even if you are only on a trial, i can only suggest immediately applying to a corp by the name of eve university. They exist solely to educate new players in how the game is played, tactics, money-making, pitfalls and all that jazz and they appear to be one of the only completely neutral groups around. That is, you're not going to find yourself getting wiped out by one of the 'big boys' in some massive interstellar war (although, you should probably not be too concerned about this as it happenes to pretty much everyone). Coupled with their infrastructure and top-notch mentors, and support they provide to their new recruits makes eve university a player's best bet for getting a headstart over everyone else and being able to plunge into the real meat of the game.
And then when you think you've had enough hand-holding, you can apply to one of the many corporations or alliances out there- Due to E-uni's reputation, having them listed in your corp history will most likely help you in being accepted into other groups.
