How do I create an Azure WebJob targeting .NET Core 1.1?

In Visual Studio 2017, the only option I'm seeing for Azure WebJob targets .NET Framework -- see below.

Under .NET Core, I don't see Azure WebJob listed.

The VS 2017 tooling for .NET Core does not exist yet, although it is planned. It's still possible to write a Core based WebJob and deploy it manually to your Web App. But do note that the WebJob SDK (which is a whole other topic) does not yet support .NET Core (related issue here).
