Careful with some slight difference : ”Sono impiegato” can mean simply I am employed, I am an employee. BUT sono un impiegato, means I am employed as (non better specified) office clerk

It means you are an employee, but you work in an office, not a shop

"Impiegata" is the feminine of "impiegato", they usually are used as "(office) clerk".

So the translation in English of the italian sentence would be:

-Are you a clerk?

-No, I work as a shop assistant (in a shop). Shop assistant =commessa (commessa being the feminine of commesso).
