The Young Professionals Podcast (TYPP), proudly brought to you by ADAPT Careers (https://adaptcareers.com.au) and co-hosted by Luke Marriott and Nicholas Sargeant (Sarge).

Tune in this week as we chat to Jacob Shields, Chief of Staff at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) (https://www.abc.net.au), a position he formally held at Network 10.

Prior to becoming a Chief of Staff, Jacob was a reporter at Network 10 and Prime 7. Jacob studied a Bachelor of Journalism and Bachelor of Laws at Queensland University of Technology (https://www.qut.edu.au/courses/bachelor-of-communication-journalism-bachelor-of-laws-honours). Trying his hand at law through a number of paralegal positions during his studies, Jacob realised that journalism was the right path for him.

Most recently, Jacob was awarded a spot on this year’s B&T Top 30 Under 30 for Journalism (https://www.bandt.com.au/30u30), in recognition of the terrific work he’s done in the media space.
