Hey guys I’m a recent grad and I just got a first round interview for a position I really want. I saw on LinkedIn someone from my university works in that same department. I connected with them and want to obviously reach out but not sure what to say. Not like they are the hiring manager but hoping they could at least put in a word for me any advice on how to word it?

hello, my name is blank, a recent graduate from university of blank. I have recently applied to blank and noticed that you also work there. I'd be grateful for the opportunity to speak with you about your experiences there and any insights you may have for how I can best succeed through this process. thank you.
