Got a referral from a Facebook employee.. now what?

I graduate next May. I've been working my ass off networking and just yesterday was offered a referral at Facebook from an alumni. There is a specific job opening there that I'm interested in, and actually pretty qualified for minus 1 year experience. (I do have two summer internships though including this summer.)

What is my next move here? Is it too early to be applying? Should I apply and let him know? Ask him to have a recruiter contact me? Just ask him these question??

I know all the referral does is get my resume looked at a little closer, which makes me nervous about perfecting it. Other than that, I'm not sure where to go from here in the process.

Thanks
