    This is the job that I got a mail about.

    The agent hasn't phoned back.

    I'm not too bothered, the location is not great for me

    But if you don't want it, would appreciate the name of a "proactive" agent

    If the choice is contracting in Swansea or permying somewhere else, then I'm sure you'll learn to like Swansea.

    If there's one thing worse than a civil service contract, it's a civil service contract in Swansea, for utter crapitude it beats Newcastle, or even, believe it or not, Cheltenham.

    YMMV, but good luck, you'll need it (also some leather arm guards so you don't chew your own hands off.)
