Hi @austinoboyle,

Found that there is no .error-container selector is no more on LinkedIn but using CSS selector in companyscrapper.py

load_initial() function

EC.presence_of_element_located
                    (By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.error-container'))

Also, from get_overview function, the following attribute is unavailable from the UI

tab_link = self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector(
                'a[data-control-name="page_member_main_nav_about_tab"]')

Yes, this is due to a change in the LinkedIn UI. This happens once fairly frequently, and it's difficult to keep up. If you have a fix for the issue, I would be happy to approve a pull request.
