First work is recorded in Venk in 1894/95 (AH 1312). The official was then about 17 years old. The record gives 3 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 380 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1897/98, the official was about 20 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1897/98, shows Muhabere Memuru in Boğazlıyan, with 380 kuruş a month. In 1902/03 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Yozgat, with 380 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Boğazlıyan).
