The interviewer has already seen your resume. Now they want to hear about your professional background in more detail. They ask this question to get a feel for how knowledgeable you are and to determine if you'll need any additional training.
Focus on making connections between your background and the skills listed in the job description. It's not necessary to go through your resume step by step. Instead, choose three or four different aspects of your background and elaborate on each with two to three sentences. It usually makes the most sense to approach this question from a chronological or reverse chronological perspective (don't jump all over the place).
"My current position as an email marketer has sharpened my skill set. I've learned how to write effective CTAs and hone in on my target audience. Before that, I worked for a smaller company where I handled the email and social media marketing campaigns. My first job in the field was a real learning experience because I was mentored by the senior marketing manager, who taught me a lot about the fundamentals of email marketing strategies. That was where I learned how to write good subject lines, analyze my target audience, and effectively segment emails."
