LinkedIn changed some structure. This PR should fix it

self.location = top_panels[1].find_element(By.TAG_NAME,"span").text
top_panel = self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@class='mt2 relative']")
self.name = top_panel.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "h1").text
self.location = top_panel.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@class='text-body-small inline t-black--light break-words']")
Copy link

You are only getting the element location, not the text.

Also, I believe it is better to follow along the __TOP_CARD instead of searching over the entire webpage.

You can do something like:

top_panel = self.driver.__TOP_CARD.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, ".mt2.relative")

note it's missing a '.text' at the end for self.location

The get_experiences() function needs more rework, as some of the data is getting repeated for certain experiences, while some data is getting omitted for some experiences.
