Hunting for a spring internship, but am starting full time at Amazon in the summer. Should I put Amazon on my resume?

Question

Like the title mentions, I am looking for Spring internships for my final semester at college to make some extra money. I have accepted a full time role at Amazon starting in the summer and I want to know what you all think about me putting that on my resume to make it stand out a bit more?

Not exactly sure what I would put down for it because obviously I haven't done any work yet so can't really have any points for it but I am tempted to figure out some way to throw it on there just to boost my resume...? Thoughts?

I know its not the strictest requirement, but most internships ive seen expect you to return to a degree seeking school program post internship. not sure if putting that youll be working for amazon after the spring would help your chances in such a case.

Leave the future Amazon job off your resume.  Internships are generally used for recruiting potential future full-time employees, and requiring you to be still enrolled full-time in a degree is a common requirement.  i.e. if you're working a full-time internship in the spring and going directly into a full-time job in the summer, it sounds like you won't meet the full-time enrolled student requirement.  Additionally, resumes are generally for describing your current and previous accomplishments, not future possibilities.

I see people doing this on Linkedin a lot. theyll put 'incoming engineer at...'. I think it's fine to put it. I'm sure its a good signal.
