I applied online. I interviewed at Fastenal (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
Interview process starts with the branch manager asking you list of questions and then they show you around the store. After interviewing with the manager, you than schedule an interview with the district manager (waste of time). It will take a month to hear back.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Fastenal in Jan 2019
Interview
you submit your application and then receive confirmation of a phone interview. if you pass the phone interview you get an interview with the store manager. If the store manager like you, you get to interview with the district manager. after that, you more than likely will be hired
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you know about our company? Why do you want to work here? Do you have experience with excel?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fastenal (Tuscaloosa, AL) in Apr 2018
Interview
One in-person interview. Asked me a few situational questions but nothing too hard. I had worked mainly entry-level positions before so I don't think they were expecting anything too mind-blowing. They do drug test so be ready for that. The interview probably lasted about 20 minutes. They might bring in a district manager for the interview as well but they won't do it all of the time. Mainly just be ready to answer some situational questions and go over your previous work experience.
