都 means both / all. In this sentence, it shows that the statement applies to both 工作经验 and 专业技能.

A very common pattern is:

A 和 B 都 + predicate

So:

工作经验和专业技能都很重要。
= Work experience and professional skills are both important.

Without 都, the sentence is still understandable, but 都 makes the both idea clear and natural.

Not necessarily. This is one of the most common questions learners have.

In Mandarin, adjectives can act as the main predicate of a sentence. When that happens, 很 is often added before the adjective to make the sentence sound natural and neutral.

So here, 很重要 often just means:

important

—not always very important.

If you really want to strongly emphasize very, you might say:

• 非常重要 = very important
• 特别重要 = especially important

If you remove 很 and say 工作经验和专业技能都重要, it can sound more contrastive or emphatic, as if you are specifically insisting that they are important.

Because 重要 is an adjective, and in Mandarin adjectives can directly function as the predicate.

So Chinese says:

工作经验和专业技能都很重要。

not:

工作经验和专业技能都是重要。 ❌

Use 是 mainly when linking a subject to a noun phrase, such as:

• 他是老师。 = He is a teacher.

But with adjectives, you usually do not use 是:

• 这个问题很重要。 = This question is important.

A simple way to break it down is:

• 工作经验和专业技能 = work experience and professional skills
• 都 = both
• 很重要 = are important

So the structure is:

[Subject 1 + 和 + Subject 2] + 都 + 很 + Adjective

In other words:

A and B are both adjective

This is a very useful pattern for beginners.

工作经验 means work experience, especially experience and practical know-how gained from working.

It is not exactly the same as work history.

• 工作经验 focuses on what experience you have gained
• 工作经历 focuses more on your employment history or past work background

So in this sentence, 工作经验 means the experience you have built up through work.

专业技能 means professional skills or specialized skills.

• 专业 = professional / specialized
• 技能 = skill / skill set

So this phrase refers to skills connected to a profession, field, or specialty.

Depending on context, it could mean things like:

• technical skills
• job-related skills
• specialized professional abilities

Yes, sometimes.

和 is the most common and neutral way to say and between nouns.

Possible alternatives include:

• 跟 — more spoken and informal
• 以及 — more formal, often used in writing

So you could also say:

• 工作经验跟专业技能都很重要。
• 工作经验以及专业技能都很重要。

But 和 is the safest and most common choice for everyday Mandarin.

Usually, 都 comes before the predicate and after the full subject phrase it applies to.

So this is natural:

工作经验和专业技能都很重要。

This is the key idea:

• 工作经验和专业技能 = the things being talked about
• 都 = applies to both of them
• 很重要 = what is being said about them

If you move 都 to the wrong place, the sentence can sound unnatural or incorrect.

Here it is zhòngyào.

The character 重 has more than one pronunciation, but in 重要 it is pronounced zhòng, meaning important.

So:

• 重要 = zhòngyào = important

This is a very common word, so it is worth memorizing as a whole.

Yes, you could say:

工作经验和专业技能很重要。

This is understandable and grammatical. However, 都 makes the meaning more explicit: both of these things are important.

So:

• 工作经验和专业技能很重要。 = Work experience and professional skills are important.
• 工作经验和专业技能都很重要。 = Work experience and professional skills are both important.

The version with 都 is often a little clearer and more natural when you want to emphasize both items.

Yes. It is natural and commonly understandable, especially in contexts like:

• job interviews
• resumes
• career advice
• workplace discussions

It sounds slightly formal because of the vocabulary 工作经验 and 专业技能, but it is completely normal Mandarin.

You might hear it in situations like:

• discussing hiring requirements
• giving career advice
• talking about what employers value
