# Pre-Business ## expand\_more Winthrop's Pre-Business Tutors are here to help you explore different career paths and prepare for the recruitment process, both on campus interviewing (OCI) and independent searches. The Pre-Business Tutors focus on supporting students interested in finance, consulting, and business school applications, but can also cover other fields. Be on the lookout for the many events we hold through the school year, and make sure you sign up for the[ Pre-Business Mailing List](http://bit.ly/WinthropPreCareer) to be assigned a tutor. Also look at resources from Harvard's [Office of Career Services](https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/) (OCS), including [Career Fairs and Expos](https://careerservices.fas.harvard.edu/resources/mcs-career-fairs/).
