How to use "sin embargo" appropriately in a phrase?

How to use "sin embargo" appropriately in a phrase?

I am always a little confused and want to use it like so:

"Sin embargo, todos saben que el es lo mejor candidato."

But perhaps this would be the correct:

"Carlos y Juan son buen candidatos. Sin embargo, Juan tiene mas experiencia."

I will appreciate any help. Thank you and Happy New Year! smile

Hi and welcome to the forum.

"Sin embargo" is used very much the same as "nevertheless" in English:

She hasn't treated me well, nevertheless, I am in love with her.

No me trató bien, sin embargo, estoy enamorado de ella.

Is the same as: nevertheless, or however
