Ok let me offer my advice as a 12+ years of IT experience and recently inducted I to the SCCM admin world.
As far as SCCM, if you can fake it, I would be hugely impressed. If they already have the SCCM environment, then is possible you might be able to. I have a kindle book that I could loan you if you'd like. It's a mastering SCCM book that's pretty awesome:

If you have experience in SMS this shouldn't be too bad. If the environment isn't built yet, it's hugely difficult (SQL, IIS etc).
You need to figure out what your best at and work towards it. Let me know if I can be of any help. I'm currently a sys admin at a corporation. AD GPO SCCM etc
What are the position's responsibilities? What is the environment like (number of workstations/servers)? Is there already an SCCM environment in operation? If so, is it 2007/2012/2012 SP1/2012 R2? Is there a team supporting SCCM or would it just be you?
If you're going to be the admin, packaging expect, deployment admin, and sole tech support and you have no experience yourself...that'll be a big learning curve. It's not impossible, but it'll be a lot of research.
Microsoft's Virtual Academy is great.
If you like books, the "Mastering" and "Unleashed" books are two of my favorites. There's a lot of great blogs out there for System Center, too--System Center Central is my default stop, but of course /r/sccm is great too!
And for any questions that you can't get answered via any of those methods, the Technet forums are invaluable. You'll get to be on a first name basis with some of the MVPs, they're phenomenal.
