...and not been awarded a PhD as a result.

I'm waiting on the corrections being approved and frankly I'm in pretty bad shape because of it. Waiting on the outcome is holding me up and I may have missed a job as a result of it. One of the panel said they really enoyed my interview but although I indicated I had passed subject to corrections she made the point that one of the deciding factors was the successful candidate had their PhD.

I'm starting to get very uptight because I feel had my supervisors done their job properly, the corrections would have amounted to typos and little else. I feel they clearly didn't read my thesis (I've always maintained that, even well before viva) and so the corrections process is taking longer as a result.

I feel very, very angry and frustrated.

how long did it take you to do the corrections? Was the theisis wrong in some way?

I was given minor corrections and 3 months to do them. Some of the analysis wasn't right, although when I checked with my supervisor many times before viva I was assured it was. Not overly impressed with my supervisors, basically because I don't think they read my thesis thereby passing on their job to the examiner.

I'd just get admin staff onto it and bug them until they come back with an update. In my experience admin staff know EVERYTHING

Thanks Sneaks - I will. There's a possibility I lost out on a job because I don't 'officially' have a PhD and I'm starting to panic.
