Your interviewer is offering you an opportunity to bring your resume to life. Whether you have prior experience in retail matters less than how your experience and professional development would translate to this role. On Home Depot's career advice website, My Orange Ladder, they suggest that during your interview, you should "focus on accomplishments, not responsibilities. Everyone has a personal brand, but most people are not aware of this and do not manage it deliberately and effectively. You should take control of your brand and change how others perceive you. This will help you to actively grow and distinguish yourself as an exceptional associate."

"I have not worked in retail, as this role with Home Depot would be my first official job; however, I have experience working in a team environment as Captain of my college football team for the past two years. I know a lot about collaboration and dedication, and am no stranger to working hard and getting a good workout while I am at it."
