Correcto

• 现代职场竞争激烈，能兼具专业深度和跨领域视野的复合型人才，往往比单一技能者更受青睐。(In the modern workplace, where competition is fierce, compound talents who can combine professional depth with cross-domain vision are often more sought after than people with only one skill.)
• 中国传统文人理想人格强调德才兼备、文武兼修，真正的君子应在品德与学识上均衡发展。(The ideal personality of traditional Chinese scholars emphasises having both virtue and talent, and cultivating both civil and martial abilities; a true gentleman should develop evenly in character and learning.)

Incorrecto

• 兼 is a classical and formal element — do not use it as a standalone colloquial verb. In everyday speech, use 同时做 or 一边…一边… to express doing things simultaneously. 兼 works best as part of established compounds (兼顾, 兼职, 兼任, 兼具) or in formal prose contexts.

Origen e historia

兼 (to hold in both hands simultaneously — 禾 grain stalk held in two hands at once — grasping multiple stalks, hence 'to hold concurrently')
