My thesis is approved and I will be ready to print/bind/submit in the next couple of weeks.

I want to apply for jobs. Without the boring details how can I state on my cv that I essentially "have it" but it's not absolutely done and dusted yet!?!

Would it be disingenuous to say I have a phd?

Advice greatly appreciated.

Have you passed your viva? Because if you haven't then IMO I don't think you can say you have it yet since that can still prevent you from it (not saying it will! Just caution :) ).

More concrete advice, what I've been making do with is having "Expected Completion: October 2013" under the qualification.

Yes, I passed viva with minors, and I have made the corrections and they have been approved. I just need to submit thesis once I get the instructions from my university to do so :-).

Congrats :D

I think in that case you can just say you got the PhD, although I'd imagine there's no harm either in having Expected Completion written if you felt particularly paranoid ;)

congrats! :-)
how bout you say on your application "I have passed my viva"
