Ask the interviewer to repeat a question.

Answer 1

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

1. Yawn or burp - This is unprofessional and can give a poor impression to the interviewer.

2. Put the interviewer on hold - Interrupting the interview can be seen as disrespectful and unprofessional.

Reading from your resume and asking the interviewer to repeat a question can be acceptable in certain contexts. However, it’s generally better to be prepared to discuss your resume without reading directly from it, and asking for clarification is normal, provided it’s done politely.
