Started a new job as an executive assistant and just got let go....

If you want to apply for the job again, do so.

If you are re-hired, great.

If you are not re-hired, no laws will have been violated and you will have no legal recourse based on what you have posted. Being told that you are eligible for re-hire is not a guarantee of being re-hired.

Feel free to consult with a local attorney if you disagree.

I started a new job on March 8th. I have an offer letter signed by myself and the employers. The letter states I am being hired as an executive assistant.
4 weeks in, I get fired. The reason is that they decided that the need someone with a scientific background and not a secretarial background.... I'm like.. WHAT?!?!?!?! Talk about getting blind sided... and just like that, I'm unemployed.

Was this job misrepresented to me. Thoughts?

The company has to think about that before when they hire you.
Stay away from these companies & always read all the policies of the companies.

No. A company can decide they require someone with a different skill set after hiring a person.
