Fixed handling for when a person has multiple positions under a company
I was getting an error that the work_time variable wasn't set when trying to scrape my own experiences: https://www.linkedin.com/in/myrongt/details/experience/ This was because I have had multiple positions with the same company. This change fixes that issue.
