Significant Job Promotion and Application Update??

[musicalscientists]

I just received a job promotion that will GREATLY expand my responsibilities -- a production manager with an emphasis in the genetic applications in the commercial agriculture industry as well as a lot of business experience (working with clients around the country and the CEO/CFO/CMO). Not to mention managing all of the technician teams, which amounts to about 30 people.
My question, though. I've attended four interviews this cycle thus far, and I know that notices will start to trickle in once October 15th rolls around. Is it worth updating my applications with this information -- specifically to the schools I've interviewed at? I've not done anything in this position yet because it will start October 15th, but I want to communicate this information to admissions committees because I think it's valuable experience. I feel like the emphasis during ADCOM meetings is what applicants HAVE done and not WILL do.
Thoughts?

Updating won't hurt, but no one knows if it will help. This is significant enough that it's not one of those meaningless updates people sometimes send

A job promotion warrants an update letter, I think. You already received the promotion... it's like an award. It's not like you're expected to update them once you quit, lol.

That criticism about updating tentative activities is sort of along the lines of the following:
"I will be going to peace corp"
"I will publish a paper"
"I will start a new volunteer position"

These "updates" are worthless because you haven't actually done anything yet.
