Perhaps your time would be better spent making sure you're looking for the right jobs and doing the research rather than paying someone to look at your resume, only to still send it in search of the wrong job.

The fact that you acknolwledge that you're not sure is a good thing and also may indicate that this is an area to spend more time considering.

Another good book is Now, Discover Your Strengths and another version Strengths 2.0. They both allow you to take an on-line assessment and learn about your natural talents. That way you can go after what you would naturally be good at and not try to fix weaknesses and be "well rounded" which means you're not really good at specific things.
