Answer 1

 PS>Start-Job -Name test -ArgumentList @("hello","word") -FilePath \\server\share\test.ps1

in test.ps1 just echo the $args var

   $args

result :

PS>Receive-Job test -keep
hello
word

"Because all of the values that follow the ArgumentList parameter name are interpreted as being values of ArgumentList, the ArgumentList parameter should be the last parameter in the command."

So I guess tha something like:

... -ArgumentList $arg1 $arg2

should work?
