If you have a future activity (ie job lined up), do you include it in your app?

Hi, I start a job next week, and I was wondering if I should include it in my AMCAS app under the post-secondary section. What do you guys think?

Forgot to mention that I am planning on submitting my app before I start work.

I think yes, include it, as long as you are definitely beginning soon. You can include your accurate start date, and just do your best at explaining what your job functions will be.

I'm in a similar situation, as I will be starting a new volunteer job soon. I'm already hired but have to wait for an orientation to be scheduled before I can start. It is supposed to be pretty soon, but what if I put August as the starting date but the orientation ends up being in September or later? In other words, how should I go about listing this activity without sounding like a liar if something changes?
