About previous work experiences

When a job application form asks you for your previous work experiences do they have to be relevant to the employer? For example my previous experiences are mainly freelance work in video making and I'm applying to work at a shop/store.

Thanks.
no. You need to show some employment history as there is a lot of transferable skills

However, when you have a long history of work experience then you can cherry pick cases that show case the skills the job is looking for.
