Navigating Job Search After Unexpected Termination as Account Executive

Today, I find myself unexpectedly back on the job market after losing my position as an Account Executive in a SaaS company. I had recently returned from a medically documented leave for treatment, having followed all the necessary protocols and communicated with HR throughout the process. Unfortunately, just three hours after my return, I was terminated, with the vague reasoning that I was "not a culture fit." Prior to my leave, I had no performance issues or warnings, so this came as a shock. I'm now seeking advice on how to navigate my job search and explain this short tenure in interviews. I want to maintain professionalism and avoid speaking negatively about my former employer, while also being cautious not to disclose too much about my medical situation. My experience lies heavily in SaaS sales, business development, and relationship management, and I'm eager to find a long-term opportunity that aligns with my skills. I’m considering a response like, "The position ended unexpectedly, and I’m now focused on finding a long-term opportunity that better aligns with my background in SaaS sales and business development." I would appreciate any guidance from those who have faced similar situations and successfully transitioned into a new role. I'm ready to get back to work quickly and would love to hear any tips or strategies.
