LARAVEL 5.6: catching exception inside a job class

I am trying to catch an exception inside a job but it seems the try/catch bock has no effect.

    /**
 * Execute the job.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function handle()
{
    $progress=0;
    $step=100/count($this->itemsId);

    event(new JobProgressUpdate($progress, '', true, $this->broadcastChannel));
    foreach ($this->itemsId as $itemId) {
        $message='ITEM '.$itemId.': ';
        $success=true;
        try{
            $this->meliCredential->setItemStatus($itemId,$this->status);
        }catch(\Exception $e){
            $message+=$e->getMessage();
            $success=false;
        }

        $progress+=$step;
        event(new JobProgressUpdate($progress, $message, $success, $this->broadcastChannel));
    }
}

The idea is to avoid the job to be marked as failed and just send a message of the exception to the client.

so the question is, How to catch exceptions inside a job handler???
