I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fastenal (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2019
Interview
Manager just read from a list of questions and didn’t even look up from notebook. Seemed very informal. After the questions he got up and lead merit the back door before I could ask any questions that I had.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Fastenal (Duluth, MN) in Mar 2016
Interview
Very easy and informal. Sat in a truck and talked. They were interested in my past experiences working at another distribution company. I came from another Fastenal store so they simply asked me what I had learned and what I need to know to do my job correctly.
Phone interview, 2 face to face. It was Farley easy for the most part. Your normal handshake and introduction process. All you really have to have is confidence. And you are sure to get the job.
