You mentioned that we should put our context, short and long-term goals in the first essay. However, Kellogg already asks these two things in the 'Employment History' section, with 2 fields for industry motivations and goals respectively. Wouldn't it be repetitive to write similar stories/reasons/goals in the first essay?
You are right that there should be overlap between this Employment History section and the first essay. The information should definitely be consistent. The first essay should bring your career story and goals to life and paint a picture for your reader, and you have a 450-word essay to do that. The Employment History section is just a very short section where your goals and motivations should be very straightforward, without any context.
