<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I'm currently an intern for a semester at a local branch of a national program in my city. This internship was organized through a university course that I am currently taking, and I spend around 8 hours a week working there. I have spoken to my adviser there casually about my current job search, and I think she has a fairly good idea about what I am looking to do once I graduate ( which is at the end of next month). 
It has come to my attention, through looking online, that a position I am very interested in with the organization has opened up. I actually met with someone in this position a few weeks ago, and I felt really inspired by the work that they do, and expressed this interest to my adviser once I saw her. 
My question to you all is this: How do I go about talking to my adviser about this position? I think that I would be a good fit, and she has experience with my work and knows that this is thy type of thing I am interested in. Should I ask her for a recommendation, or possibly to put me in contact with the person in change of hiring for this position (I'm fairly certain she would know how this person is, as she is in a high managerial position within the organization)?
