Beth, an excellent point here; your needs in a career can change as well. Very good comment.

And, as I constantly advocate, you must know (or predict) when every job will end. When you see the date and it matches up with how long it takes to find another position, it is time to look. A tough lesson that has been learned by myself…more than once…

I'm hoping to here of your success in your job search!

And don't forget that it doesn't have to be the situation that changes to create a mismatch.

It really could be you.

This is what I did to myself and didn't catch fast enough. My goals and priorities changed (I wanted to be working in a more customer facing/marketing position instead of in the lab and got an MBA towards that goal) but the expected opportunities within the company had been cut due to the recession and I didn't job hunt like crazy for the same reason.

I increased my resistance, lost interest in doing higher-level work, and questioned my own worth, and am now unemployed and wholeheartedly seeking my next position. Next time I'll take action sooner.

Okay. Wow. This is a really awesome post. Great advice here and yes, I've been there. I've gone through all the stages you outline here. And I like that you brought it to reality. A lot of times, people don't want to admit that jobs end. But it's a cold, hard fact. And once you confront it, you can take action.

Glad I found your site!!
