The one thing I would also say about interviews is that while you can mention the influence of factors beyond your control (eg how extensive your past work experience was), it is important to take ownership of the fact that you could have performed better in certain ways. Almost no candidate will have an absolutely flawless academic/professional background, and when firms ask about parts you may be less proud of, they aim to assess whether you are self-aware enough to accept your mistakes and to attempt to move past them or if you fall to the temptation of instantly deflecting negative feedback and blaming it on circumstance. At the applications stage, I do not think there is any need for you to explain why you did not convert a VS. Just having it in your CV and mentioning it in connection to your motivation will be a significant boost to your candidate profile, as it will have show how far the track to a TC you went. The question as to why you did not go all the way is simply not so relevant at a stage where they just aim to filter out the candidates that will not make it to a second or third stage.</blockquote>
