how should I describe my status in job applications? I have just passed my PhD oral defence I have passed my PhD viva voce and submitted my revised thesis. Currently, I am waiting for my degree to be conferred which will take one to two months. How should I describe/introduce my academic status in cover letters when applying for jobs?

I have learnt a phrase "degree pending", not sure if it suits my case?
I would just write:  "Ph.D. completed, to be awarded [month, year]."
