How LinkedIn uses your face for job ads

I saw this picture while being logged in on LinkedIn. I wasn’t doing anything specific and definitely not something related to job  search.

This appeared on the right side of the window.

The funny thing is that if you click on Apply Now you see that actually the ad is location dependent.

This job was in Germany (where I live) and actually relatively near me (Munich is 200 KM near me).

No, I didn’t apply 😉
