In a phone/Zoom interview, you should avoid doing the following:

- **Yawn or burp.** (This is unprofessional and can convey disinterest.)

- **Read from your resume.** (This can come off as unprepared and may not showcase your ability to communicate effectively.)

- **Put the interviewer on hold.** (This can disrupt the flow of the conversation and may be seen as disrespectful.)

While asking the interviewer to repeat a question can occasionally be acceptable if you genuinely did not hear or understand it, it should be done sparingly and in a polite manner. Therefore, it may not necessarily be something you shouldn't do, depending on the context.

So, the best answers to avoid in a phone/Zoom interview are **yawning or burping, reading from your resume, and putting the interviewer on hold.**
