I was able to get Console.WriteLine() to leave messages in my web job log. The following console runs and leaves log messages.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        {
            DoStuff();
            Thread.Sleep(10000);

    {
        Console.WriteLine("do stuff");
    }
}

This is what my log file shows:
