+2What about setting the PowerShell script to send email like this:
This is the PowerSHell script content which can be customized for your use:
# In the next line, paste the results from this command: Read-Host -Prompt 'Password' -AsSecureString | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Set-Clipboard
$EncryptedCredential = "<See comment above>"
$EmailUsername = "email1@email.com"
$EncryptedPW = $EncryptedCredential | ConvertTo-SecureString
$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($EmailUsername, $EncryptedPW)
$EmailFrom = "email1@email.com"
$EmailTo = "email2@email.com"
$SMTPServer = "smtp.office365.com"
$SMTPPort = 587
$subject = "Subject email goes here"
$MessageBody = "Email body goes here"
$SMTPSsl = $true
$param = @{
SmtpServer = $SMTPServer
Port = $SMTPPort
UseSsl = $SMTPSsl
Credential = $Credential
From = $EmailFrom
To = $EmailTo
Subject = $subject
Body = $MessageBody
}

Just to add, pre-job script is definitely the way to go. You can pull information on the job invoking the script with:
$ScriptPID = Get-WMIObject win32_process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessID -eq $PID}
$ParentProc = Get-WMIObject win32_process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessID -eq $ScriptPID.ParentProcessId}
$JobID = $ParentProc.CommandLine.Split()[7].Trim('"')
$Job = Get-VBRJob | Where-Object {$_.id -eq $JobID}
Then in PS just pass relevant properties from $Job to your script to send information on it.
