Plenty of athletes have af and it shouldn't be a reason to avoid employing you, 1 in 50 people have it so its very common. You may not have to disclose it, but it depends on the questions they ask. If you do disclose then state that you are able to do exercise - state details of what and for how long.

It shouldn't be a problem
