Hey Chandler,
I noticed you're connected to Monica Bing on LinkedIn. She's working at Resume Worded and I've been thinking about applying for a position as a data scientist there!
I would love to chat with her to get some insight into the company and what the role is like.
If you're OK with it, would you mind connecting me to her? I can send you a pre-formatted introductory email to make things easy for you.
Thanks!
Rachel
