Feel Like My Resume Is Being Thrown Out

My cumulative gpa is 3.3 and I am simply not getting interviews for good jobs. My major gpa however is 3.6 and I feel like stating that instead of cumulative may help me land interviews. Which sounds the best (and is not unethical):

GPA: Finance Major: 3.6 Finance GPA: 3.6 GPA: Finance courses: 3.6

I feel like the second one may fly under the radar as a major gpa.

What do you all think? If my cumulative is not that far below (3.3) should I include it? I feel as if that is what is getting my resumes weeded out.

Nothing wrong with putting both or only your major gpa.

From a punctuation point of view, avoid using two colons for one thought. Go with #2 or use "Finance Major GPA: 3.6"
