shared function in script and code block

Question

I have a function that I use in my main script, and I also need to create a Job, which uses the same function. Right now I just have the code written twice, once in the main script, and once in the script block handed to the Job. I know I can add code to a variable, but not sure how to then unpack that variable in the code block, so the same code is effectively used in both places. If it makes a difference, I am limited to v2 unfortunately.

Use a Module

Define your function(s) in the module.

In your main script, you import the module.

Import-Module MyModule

In your job, you import the module:

Start-Job -ScriptBlock {
    Import-Module MyModule

    # Invoke-MyFunction
}
