 --sesssion_id_profiles     session id of linkedin account (most probably fake. it may get banned. )

in the absence of both we don't have profile links to visit. if both saved_search and input is provided then input is at first priority.

Optional arguments:

extra note: you may some time encounter the error that certain selector is not found. Don't worry I have implemented multiple cases if it doesn't find one selector it will get another one.

there may be cases that i didn't encouter yet. they will not throw an error. and the only indication that something wrong happen will be in your data either jobTitle will be empty string or jobTitle value will be replaced with companyName. I have scrape over 200 profiles didn't find any problem yet. if you find any issue please let me know.
