Hi, so I am writing an essay to describe any personal circumstances. But what does "personal circumstances" exactly mean? your life diffculties?
  

Top answer

" This includes all the details, good, bad, indifferent, normal, unusual, short-term, long-term. The list would probably be narrowed down by context. If someone is interviewing you for a job and asks about your "personal circumstances," he'd be referring to things which could have some bearing on your job - that is, marital status, transportation, location, health, etc.

  • In this context, "personal" would probably exclude your professional status, such as training, experience, etc.
  • If someone is considering entering into an intimate relationship with you, the list would be different.
