LinkedIn API returns Positions without Title

[DelawareConsulting]

An user of our app has noticed a problem with LinkedIn, he has 4 positions and 2 of these positions get returned without an title:

Also the connection profile seems ok:

I even logged in with his LinkedIn profile to check that he has filled in everything correctly and as far as I can see he has.

For retrieving the data from LinkedIn I am using the following gem:
https://github.com/hexgnu/linkedin

And running:

• Ruby 1.9.3p551
• Rails 3.2.19
• Using latest version of this gem

[hexgnu]

What are the permissions you've set?

r_fullprofile?
r_emailaddress?

Hi @hexgnu I've checked:

r_fullprofile and r_basicprofile

Hmmm...

Not something I know of off the top of my head. Have you submitted a ticket with linkedin support?

the linkedin gem effectively sends simple http requests over to linkedin and jsonifes things up to be consumed.

I've submitted via stackoverflow any other ways of submitting a ticket?

well SO is a good way and unfortunately linkedin themselves aren't super helpful with a lot of things...

Do you know if the people who aren't showing titles have any sort of visibility constraints on them?

For instance I don't show up as a full profile on many people's feeds.

This all smells very much like a privacy thing from linkedin's side :-/

The only thing that is strange is :

1. Company 1 - Title OK
2. Company 1 - Title NOK
3. Company 2 - Title OK
4. Company 2 - Title NOK

Could this be a pattern?
