No crime in not knowing something. Unless it’s integral part of the position. Like being hired to be a semi driver and not knowing how to drive it. Otherwise no one knows everything
I don’t see how and why you’d be faking something that you getting paid for. How could you even fake it? I don’t understand your friend. It’s a sure way to get fired when they find out you don’t know it but not being honest about it. Nothing good comes out of faking it.
Why would they think you know more than you actually do? Why would they be assuming?
I think you can learn it. Good idea asking people to give you some guidance

Thanks, divine.
What my company DOES know is that leadership was lacking in my last job. One could surmise from that that I didn't learn things as well as I could have, due tot the lack of leadership, and subsequently, proper training.
I really don't know what to do - my friend who said "fake it til you make it" means well. I think if you pretend you know, yet use resources to help you so that you can succeed, couldn't that help me to avoid a problem with my new supervisor?
