Previous or prior

In a resume, when referring to the experience acquired in an institution you used to work for, do you say PREVIOUS OR PRIOR institution
  

Top answer

Hi Nsosaz I don't think I would combine either "previous" or "prior" directly with the word "institution" in a resume. I might expect to see things such as these, for example: - My previous employer was ... - Prior to working at X, I worked at Y.
