How to delay Laravel Job Queue - laravel

Question

I am trying to learn about Jobs and queues in Laravel , when i try to learn something new i always take a basic example by myself and try to understand the workflow better.
Okay here is the problem
I have created a Job in Laravel as you can see in the handle method i am just trying to print a simple message on the laravel.logger , this works totally fine.
class SendEmailJob implements ShouldQueue
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
protected $email;
/**
* Create a new job instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct($email)
{
$this->email = $email;
}
/**
* Execute the job.
*
* #return void
*/
public function handle()
{
Log::info($this->email . '<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<');
}
}
My problem is that i want to delay this job for 2 minutes then to dispatch it ,
i have tried it this way but without success both logs are printed immediately when index method is being called but i want $job = new SendEmailJob("This will show after 2 minutes"); to be called after 2 minutes an not printed immediately
public function index(){
$on = Carbon::now()->addMinutes(2);
Log::info('Test');
$job = new SendEmailJob("This will show after 2 minutes");
$job->delay($on);
dispatch($job);
return "none";
}

You can take a look at the documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/queues#delayed-dispatching
You can do following: (new SendEmailJob("This will show after 2 minutes"))->delay(now()->addMinutes(2)); or
SendEmailJob::dispatch("This will show after 2 minutes")->delay(now()->addMinutes(2));
