Do I need consent from (future) employer to open a Fidelity account?

Starting FT at a BB sometime in August, but I currently am not working for them as my start date was pushed back. I want to open a Fidelity account to invest some money and experiment a bit with day trading but when making my account there is a question regarding FINRA 3210 that says that I need consent from my employer if its a financial institution. Because I am not yet working, is this necessary?
