New Job - Update Resume on Submitted Apps?

I will likely be starting a new job (same industry, new company) within the next few weeks. I've already submitted my law school applications, but I'm wondering if I need to send an updated resume to the schools listing my new job? The resume was current and correct when I submitted it, but will be outdated by the January/February time when decisions are being made. I plan to call my top schools to hear their individual preferences, but I was just wondering if anyone had faced a similar situation. Thanks!

    I have not faced a similar situation, but I have read in the "Certifying Statement" that they say you should update the school if anything changes for you professionally. I'm sure you could email an updated résumé to each school or upload a new doc straight to your application portal for each school if that's an option.
