I applied online. I interviewed at Fastenal (Tacoma, WA) in Apr 2022
Interview
It was quick, probably a week after applying online, but a comfortable experience; the interview itself was about 45 minutes. They asked all of the typical interview questions; it felt informal, more like they were seeing if I was a good fit for the store and position. They provided plenty of time to think about the questions they asked. It was in the store that I had applied to with the store manager and the district manager. I heard back probably a week or two later, I was offered the position, and I accepted.
