Get a Referral From Someone in Your Network

Act as a job search networking strategist. I have spotted a job opening at [COMPANY_NAME] for [JOB_TITLE] and I know [CONTACT_NAME] who works there as [CONTACT_ROLE]. I would like to ask for a referral or internal introduction. Write a message to [CONTACT_NAME] that: acknowledges our relationship warmly, shares my interest in the specific role, briefly makes the case for why I would be a good fit (making it easy for them to advocate for me), and includes a specific and low-effort ask. Keep it under 150 words.
