What is the difference between clerical and administrative?

Depends whom you ask. Clerical is secretarial sort of stuff. Admin could be anywhere between that and the director.

If you Google that exact question ("What is the difference between clerical and administrative?") you'll get loads of answers.

In short (copy-pasted from what I found using Google):
Clerical staff is entry-level employees in charge of lower responsibility positions, whereas administrative staff is higher-level positions with more responsibility, such as executive secretaries or administrative assistants.
