The Web site lists "Junior Technical Writer" as the job title. But in my
experience, "entry level" jobs are usually those whose descriptions might be
suitable to a person who has been trained but has not yet worked as a
technical writer, or who has limited experience. The experience requirements
in that description imply that they don't mean "entry level" as a first job
(what I think is its usual meaning).
