docs(ux): Refactor and correct UI/UX job guide article

This commit provides a major cleanup and refactoring of the "10 Steps to Land a Job in UI/UX Design" article. The changes address metadata errors, structural issues, and significant content redundancy.

Metadata Fixes: Corrected a spelling error in the tags (Desgin -> Design), replaced an irrelevant AI tag, and removed placeholder/empty keys (meta, canonical_url).

Structural Improvements: Moved the main article introduction to the top (it was incorrectly placed within the first step) and added numbering to the 10 step headings for better clarity.

Content Refactoring: Removed repetitive concluding paragraphs from nearly every step. This makes the article much more concise and easier to read.

Content Correction: Fixed incorrect step numbers mentioned within the text and replaced the "Final Verdict" section's content, which was a copy-paste error from a different article.
