Alongside, the lists for 1884/85 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgrafhane muhabere memuru. Mehmed Behzad then moved to Skopje (Üsküp) from 1891 to 1896. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1896 give a second post, in Kriva Palanka as Telgraf ve Posta müdürü. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1907 give a second post, in Gostivar as Telgraf ve Posta Merkezi müdürü. Alongside, the lists for 1906/07 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf ve Posta Merkezi müdürü.
