Don't give up golf during your job search. I've found that my most successful clients at the job search game do two things well: 1) They are thorough and relentless in their job search, even following much of my advice, and, 2) They still make time for a bit of leisure. So, play a little golf. You can even make it part of your job search. Talk careers with someone you pair up with for a round. Call some long-lost acquaintances for a round and do some useful networking. If you have other leisure activities you enjoy to keep you cool during a job search, share them here.
