Community responses ## 1 Answer Sort by Most likedNewest firstOldest first * AM Adrian Moore [5 Aug 2026](https://jobicy.com/q/1785797095-should-i-ask-for-a-written-agenda-before-a-video-panel#answer-9507.md) Copy answer link Report answer Would knowing the panelists’ roles change how you prepare? Ask the recruiter for the names, titles, interview format, and any topics they can share. That’s a normal logistics request, not a demand for questions in advance. Prepare broadly unless they provide a focus. A simple criterion: if the agenda changes your examples or technical prep, request it. For example, if one panelist leads product and another engineering, prepare one story showing trade-offs between user needs and delivery constraints. Is this a technical, behavioral, or mixed panel?
