10 years in Asia. Relocating back to U.S.. need help

Hello everyone. I am moving back to America next month after nearly 10 years working in Vietnam.

To start, I'm struggling on making a CV for the U.S.. All of my adult working like has been spent here in Vietnam, so I have no American contacts to put for references. I'm also unsure of how to adjust my CV to be adequate for the U.S market.

Anyone have any sources for a good outline to follow? Or advice for how to properly communicate to an employer that my contacts are only reachable by email?

I was also wondering how to add a few things onto a CV without sounding egregious. For example:

My study abroad experience in China, studying Mandarin.

My experiences with navigating immigration to Vietnam, China (and the U.S for my wife).

My experiences working in a multicultural setting (International School Teacher)

I know its a very loaded topic. But I feel like my CV just doesn't properly convey these things.

Any advice is helpful.

Thanks!

**Edit : I want to stay in education, but I'm pretty burned out with teaching. I'd really be interested in doing something with international students, however. Maybe advisory jobs / recruitment for international students or students that are planning to study abroad. Anyone with any other ideas around these lines or even outside, feel free to write them below.
