I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Fastenal (Baton Rouge, LA) in May 2011
Interview
Applied online. District manager called and set up an interview. Interview was laid back and basic. The DM asked very basic questions like previous experience and had I ever heard of Fastenal. He kept it short and sweet and then had casual conversation after.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fastenal (Houston, TX) in Oct 2012
Interview
It was an alright interview. Not much details were asked. Not much experience is needed. Just willing to work for the pay and willing to bend schedule a little. They try to work with student's schedules to help.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you had experience dealing with customers on the phone and in person?
I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Fastenal (Nashville, TN) in Oct 2014
Interview
A test is required to even get an interview. The test is not a hard test, but many people fail it because it can be a little tricky. Once you get past that, you will typically have a phone screening where they just call to get to know you just a little bit before the 1:1 interview.
