How do I apply for English-language positions in Germany?

There are increasingly English-language positions in Germany, especially in tech, startups, international corporations, and consulting firms. Three rules: (1) Language of the posting = language of your application — apply in English to an English-language posting. (2) Format: English resume (max 2 pages, no photo, no date of birth) instead of a German CV. (3) Tone: English applications are direct and confident — active verbs, quantified results, no 'Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren'. ESCO and BA confirm: English skills are a mandatory requirement in many German skills shortage professions. LinkedIn Economic Graph: bilingual profiles (DE+EN) on LinkedIn receive up to 30% more recruiter enquiries.
