To find entry level positions in your field, try searching one of these websites.

When searching, use the words entry level and the name of the career. For example, entry level librarian 

When you search, there is an option to add a location. You can try adding Spartanburg or South Carolina; however, if there are no results, leave off the location.

If you are having trouble, ask your professor for help.
