First work is recorded in 1877/78 (AH 1294). The official was then about 24 years old. The record gives no years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet). The first-salary field gives 400 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1877/78, the official was about 24 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1877/78, shows Muhabere Memuru in Vize, with 400 kuruş a month. In 1881/82 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in İskilip, the salary going from 600 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Vize).
