First of all hi!
I've been contacted by her and I see that she posts quite a lot of ads, so...did anyone worked with her? Is she legit?
She sent me a contract, it looks okey, but since I want to start in August there's still time to find another school/recruiter.
Thanks for whatever help or advice you guys can give me.

If the recruiter is just introducing the job to you and getting a fee for the service and after that you have no more dealings with her, then if you're happy with the contract, shouldn't be a problem.

Problems mainly occur with recruiters when you're actually working and getting paid by them. This is the time when recruiters are best avoided.

163 is pretty much the same as a Hotmail account. If a school emailed me using a Hotmail account, I would be a tad wary.

Your best bet is to find out what school and what location she is offering you, and check it out before you sign on the dotted line.

Nothing worse than inhaling gaseous nickel and sulphur for a year-- or working in an abusive environment. Check the school before you sign. If you are unable to check it out, something is wrong and move on.

I worked with Lauralin and found her a bit underhanded but not terribly worse than 95% of her shady brethren. She will however, manipulate a situation to her own gain if she can.

PM me for details if you like.
