title: Using Python to extract LinkedIn information
body: <p>I'm trying to visit, say a set of 8,000 LinkedIn profiles that belong to people who have a certain first name (just for example, let's say "Larry"), and then would like to extract the kinds of jobs each user has held in the past. Is there an efficient way to do this? I would need each Larry to be picked independently from one another; basically, traversing someone's network isn't a good way to do this. Is there a way to completely randomize how the Larry's are picked?</p>
  
  <p>Don't even know where to start. Thanks.</p>
