Running Task scheduler on Queues Laravel - php

Question

//Mail Verification File
class EmailVerification extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #return void
*/
protected $user;
public function __construct($user)
{
$this->user = $user;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->view('frontend.email.activation')->with([
'email_token' => $this->user->email_token,
]);
}
}
//SendVerificationEmail
class SendVerificationEmail implements ShouldQueue
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new job instance.
*
* #return void
*/
protected $user;
public function __construct($user)
{
$this->user = $user;
}
/**
* Execute the job.
*
* #return void
*/
public function handle()
{
$email = new EmailVerification($this->user);
Mail::to($this->user->email)->send($email);
}
}
i am currently working on this simple laravel projects. I am try to make use of queues to implement the user email activation function. and it works fine when i use php artisan queue:work to run it. i now tried to create an task scheduler to do this every five minutes
// The code Here
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->job(new SendVerificationEmail($user))->everyFiveMinutes();
}
But its returning undefined variable. Is there a mistake in the above, or is there a better way to make Queues run automatically?

Please read: Laravel 5.5 Documentation - Queues#dispatching-jobs
You can't schedule this kind of job, you should dispatch it.
