Unforgettable interns should make it (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'unforgettable interns should' is the wordplay.
'FORGE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

'make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
