Revealing income to recruiters

I've been looking for new work and speaking to a few recruitment agencies. One of them asked me what I wanted to be paid for a job and I told them. He then asked what I was on currently and I refused. When he pressed me I asked why it was relevant and what advantage or disadvantage would it give to reveal it to a potential company. He just said it was part of the form. The same job I do elsewhere pays 20% more (as my company hasn't matched market rates for 2 years) but I'm afraid if I tell recruiters my current wage I'll be short selling myself. I've often ccepted below the top wage due to a perceived lack of experince but I'm now in a position of being confident in what I do and have the experience so won't accept anything other than the top wage.

FedEx called me back…but it’s 2022 now

I applied at FedEx last year and they actually called me but I just barely missed it so they left a voicemail with 2 people's names in case the other wasn't there so I call back within the hour and the person who answered said that they were both out but that she'd let them know and they'd call me back in half an hour. Didn't happen, I figured it wouldn't have been a good job anyway, their hours suck and I wasn't going to go chasing down someone just to beg for an interview. Fast forward to today, they call again, asking if I'd like to come in for an interview. They're desperate for me but I'm not desperate for them. They're at my convenience, not the other way around. They wouldn't finally call back months later otherwise, probably going down a list of applicants, wouldn't even be surprised…
