Hey Kim,
I hope you're well! Congrats on the work anniversary!
I saw you're connected to Bob Nolan on LinkedIn. He's working at Resume Worded and I'm considering applying for a position as a Marketing Analyst there!
I would love to chat with him to get some insight into the company and what the role is like.
If you know him reasonably well and you're okay with it, would you mind introducing me to him? I can send you a pre-formatted introductory message to make things easy for you.
Thanks!
Jack
