Your best chance probably lies on one of the British or American Military establishments. There the clientele is English speaking.
Worth looking into.

Well, basically, you need a job that doesn't require talking at all. Lots of people with language issues here work as cleaners.
You could also try to find someone who speaks English and then ask him to help you with an application for some tourist thing. Like, those people who walk through the city and tell the tourists something about the city. Just in English.

It's impossible.
Imagine, if a German wanted to work in your country without knowing your language...It would be impossible too...

Any decent job will require you to speak German fluently.
Only exception jobs at the American or British armed forces.

Work at a convenience store. The workers at such establishments in America don't speak English. Works for them.

To the man up the top there, it's not impossible.
I came over here with 0 German...really nothing I could say Hi and Bye and that's it!
Work as an AuPair or a Nanny...the kids will make you learn SUPER fast, like I mean you will be having conversations in a few weeks, plus the family has to send you to language school.
You could always work in a tourist centre or labour job. People I have met here have started off with some really shitty jobs cause of the language but now once they are working with people and taking classes it's all good. Good Luck!
