I can't speak about L3, but at CAE I do believe interviews are often carried out to non-mentored candidates during the final, advanced stage flying phase of the course.
I guess the lesson here is try hard whatever route you're on! If you're pilot material they'll find you. Hopefully.
To be fair it's logical enough, just because your there it doesn't mean that guarantees your employment how could they theres little incentive to try hard then... I guess that's another reason for the assessment and interviews...to try and verify your abilities, character, work ethics and so on, to ensure a good outcome.
