how to extract multiple values from json object using jq command

Question

I am trying to get multiple values from a json object.

{
    "nextToken": "9i2x1mbCpfo5hQ",
    "jobSummaryList": [
        {
            "jobName": "012210",
            "jobId": "0196f81cae73"
        }
    ]
}

I want nextToken's value and jobName in one jq command.

Please share an example of how valid output data should look like. Since jobName is part of an array there could be multiple solutions. Also please share what you have already tried. — Mathyn

jq .nextToken, .jobSummaryList[].jobName note that the json-line inserted above is incorrect - or incomplete you need to close the brackets. — Anna Semjén
