Usually we want to set not only custom timer job title, but also description. When to try to set it, you will find out it is read only property. Solution is to override this read only property as following

public class MyCustomJobDefinition : SPJobDefinition
{
    public override string Description
    {
        get
        {
            return "This is my custom description";
        }
    }
}
