Hi Ajay7640!

I like your question, because it shows you are really committed to answering the prompt "in both letter and spirit." And yes, those essays are worded in a confusing way.

In my opinion:

#1 is asking you to name the overarching goals you have right after your MBA and to perhaps name one or two jobs/roles that would help you achieve those goals. An example would be, "Get hands-on experience managing a cross-functional team".

#2 is asking you to first convince the committee that NOW is the time for you to pursue your MBA (not next year, two years from now, or never). Then they want you to name ONE specific big professional goal OR important job that you eventually want. Then you talk about how that big goal or important job will be your lighthouse that guides your career choices after your MBA. For example, if my professional objective is to be the CEO of a consumer products business or my major goal is to transform the US cosmetics industry, my post-MBA career choices will be such that I am getting closer to that goal with each subsequent choice. You could actually name some of the kinds of career choices you would make to get closer to that goal. Then, discuss how the HEC MBA will help you achieve that goal (e.g. the classes, professors, students, extracurricular activities, resource centers, alumni, etc.)

I hope I was helpful!

Good luck!
Kaneisha
