The interviewer wants to learn more about your background and experience.
If you don't have any experience, it's okay! Tell the interviewer that you do not have any experience in the industry and look forward to making the transition and learning everything there is to know! You can rely on your volunteer work if you have any and discuss the parallels to retail, such as being customer-facing or providing a valuable service.
If you have experience in retail, share where you have worked, your job title, and how long you were employed there. Add a sentence or two about what your job duties were in each role as well. Mention that you enjoy this industry and look forward to continuing to work in retail industry roles. Also, refer to any key achievements.

I have been working in CVS Pharmacy for over five years. I initially began at CVS as a pharmacy technician extern and was offered a job. In eight months, I was promoted to a senior technician, and more recently I have been promoted to a pharmacy intern. I have learned a lot during my time with Walgreens such as problem-solving, multi-tasking, and time management.
