Walk the interviewer through your career history in retail. The interviewer is trying to get you to make the resume he is reading come alive. Be sure to highlight your favorite and most challenging positions. Share with the hiring manager a couple of ways that your skills were stretched, and ways that you loved your work. Discuss what made them so challenging and rewarding.

"I have worked in retail for the past eight years. My most challenging position was with Company ABC because it was a different industry than I was accustomed to. I learned a great deal during that time. This position was also my favorite because of the great customers we had. I like to be pushed beyond my boundaries, picking up additional skills. It kept me motivated to be better. But I really loved interacting with customers all the time. They were the best part of the job."
