I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Fastenal (Raleigh, NC) in Jan 2018
Interview
Asked questions about accomplishments as an OSR. Be prepared for that. Loved the fact of placing vending and on site opportunities. Study the area of the branch and come up with a plan.
The interview process is very mundane and basic. The questions will be your normal, run-of-the-mill interview questions. Be prepared for a second interview if the District Manager was not in your first one. The General Managers are not trusted with the hiring process themselves.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fastenal (Houston, TX) in Mar 2017
Interview
Had two interviews with the district manager and regional vice president. It went pretty smoothly I currently worked there so I wasn't meeting with some one I did not already know. All in all it was a smooth process
