I think it depends what part of the application you're talking about. If they are asking for your current title, give them your current title. No lies there. If they ask for dates, give 'em dates. If they don't, no worries. They'll get more detail later, probably in your resume.
On your resume, you show your history, and you want two entries for sure.
In option one, you'd be lying. You haven't been a manager since April. You've been one for a short period. That's ok - they like to see you moving up. The forward motion is what shows your potential. (As an aside, adcons sometimes even recommend that applicants apply in a later round if they're expecting a very major promotion to come through.)
And BTW, here's what mine looks like (I'm on position 9 with my CU):
Company XYZ
Senior Gopher, September 2006 to present
* do menial tasks
* kiss up to my new boss
Junior Gopher, December 2005 to September 2006
* did very menial tasks
* kissed up to my old boss
Great, thanks. Follow up question. Just like any company, i was handling the Manager responsibilities for the last 4 months, although the designation change happend just 4 days back. How should i put that?
