I just wouldn't mix entry-level and expert in any resume. Just that sentence alone would at least make me consider dismissing a candidate - why is an expert seeking entry-level work, and why does someone seeking entry-level work feel they are an expert? The answer to either isn't likely to be flattering to the candidate. If you are in the interview and they softball you, I'd invite them to 'bring it' live if the environment is right (are they smiling) - but on paper it comes across that you are likely overestimating the level of skills you would have. One element of interviews that we rarely speak of is the interviewer needing to establish technical credibility with the candidate. Ego is one potential element in the exchange - particularly if it's unclear which party is 'stronger' - but an interviewer might also just feel the demonstration of their own technical abilities helps (a) make them a credible interviewer and (b) make their employer appear more attractive to candidates. Bright people want to work with other bright people.
