There is loads of help on the web about writing any kind of CV. Just google 'how to write a graduate CV'. Look at examples of other people's CVs to get an idea and some inspiration.

As you only left university two years ago perhaps you could try your university Careers Service. You might still be eligible to use their service.
You could get some focused careers advice as well as help with your CV.

Experience should be leading your CV, graduate CVs are mainly geared to graduate jobs where work experience is lacking.

Although the Vitae site is aimed at PhDs so it might be too detailed for what the OP needs.

I was in your exact predicament so I did a CIPD course so I could get into HR. I also helped my dad with some [very] basic admin work with his business so I added that on my CV so that I could get into an office role.

What is your current role? Are you able to tailor your role to show you have admin experience? What roles are you looking to get into?
