Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The personnel records also mark the telegraph school. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1867/68 (AH 1284). The official was then about 18 years old. The record gives 1 year of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 400 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1868/69, the official was about 19 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1868/69, shows Muhabere Memuru in Alanya (Alaiye), with 400 kuruş a month. In 1869/70 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Antalya, with 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Alanya). In 1871/72 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Denizli, the salary going from 400 to 380 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Antalya).

The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 30 years with a salary the median is 450 kuruş a month, with 6 rises and 5 cuts. The largest rise, 200 kuruş, is seen in 1895/96. The last salary is the same as the first. The last salary is recorded in 1898/99, when 31 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
